Reveal smoother skin with acne scar treatments by David Isaacs, MD, our expert dual-fellowship trained oculofacial and facial plastic surgeon. Dr. Isaacs effectively treats rolling scars, boxcar scars, ice pick scars, discoloration, and uneven texture using advanced techniques like Virtue RF and CO2 lasers. Each treatment is tailored to your unique skin type and scar pattern.
Minimize Visible Acne-Related Damage
Acne scars form when inflamed blemishes damage the skin’s deeper layers, leading to collagen loss and irregular healing. This can result in permanent indentations or textural changes such as rolling, boxcar, or ice pick scars. These scars often persist long after acne has resolved and can significantly impact your self-confidence, especially when they appear on the face.
Dr. Isaacs offers a comprehensive approach to acne scar treatment, combining cutting-edge technology with topical therapies to address a wide range of scar types. His protocol typically includes Virtue RF microneedling for collagen remodeling, CO2 laser resurfacing for surface refinement, and medical-grade topicals to prevent new breakouts. Each plan is tailored to your skin type and scar pattern.
Common Symptoms of Acne Scars:
- Depressed or pitted marks on the skin
- Uneven skin texture or rough patches
- Visible indentations such as boxcar or rolling scars
- Deep, narrow holes resembling ice pick marks
- Discoloration or dark spots in previously affected areas
- Persistent redness or post-inflammatory pigmentation
Acne Scar Treatments Offered by Dr. Isaacs
Dr. Isaacs utilizes a powerful combination therapy to address acne scars at every layer of the skin. By blending Virtue RF microneedling, CO2 laser resurfacing, and prescription-strength topical treatments, he delivers comprehensive and long-lasting results. This multi-modality approach ensures both deep and superficial scars are treated simultaneously.
Virtue RF Microneedling
Virtue RF microneedling combines the collagen-inducing effects of microneedling with the regenerative power of radiofrequency energy. Tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin while delivering heat deep into the dermis to stimulate collagen and elastin production. This dual-action process effectively softens rolling scars, improves the depth and definition of boxcar scars, and encourages dermal regeneration in deeper ice pick scars.
CO2 Laser Resurfacing
CO2 laser resurfacing is a gold-standard treatment for addressing surface-level acne scars, textural irregularities, and discoloration. The laser removes the damaged outer layers of skin, encouraging new, healthy skin to form. It also triggers collagen remodeling, which helps improve firmness and elasticity over time. When used in conjunction with Virtue RF, the CO2 laser enhances the results by smoothing the surface while Virtue RF treats structural issues.
Topical Treatments
Dr. Isaacs incorporates medical-grade topical therapies into every acne scar treatment. These are selected based on your skin type and scarring pattern and may include retinoids, lightening agents, or anti-inflammatory compounds. Topicals help accelerate healing, reduce pigmentation, and prevent new breakouts that could lead to future scarring. They are also essential for maintaining and enhancing the results of device-based procedures.
