Acne Scar Removal FAQ

How many treatments will I need to see results?

Most patients see significant improvement after 3-5 sessions, but it varies depending on your scar type and severity. Some notice changes after just one treatment, while others might need up to 8 sessions for optimal results. We’ll create a personalized plan based on your unique skin and goals.

Does acne scar removal hurt?

We prioritize your comfort during treatment. We use topical numbing creams, cooling devices, and advanced techniques like ProNox (nitrous oxide) and nerve blocking to minimize discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation as very tolerable, often feeling just a mild warmth or brief snapping on the skin. Your comfort is our priority throughout the procedure.

How long is the recovery time?

Recovery is typically quick, which is great news for busy schedules. You might have some redness, swelling, or flaking for a few days, but most people return to normal activities immediately. More intensive treatments might require a day or two of downtime, but we’ll discuss this in detail during your consultation.

Will my scars come back after treatment?

Once removed, those specific scars don’t come back. However, new acne can cause new scars, so it’s important to manage active acne too. We often combine scar treatments with acne prevention strategies, like BBL® Hero, Clear + Brilliant®, and blue light therapy, for the best long-term results.

Can you treat old acne scars?

Absolutely. Many of our treatments work well on scars that are years or even decades old. Whether your scars are from your teenage years or more recent, we have effective options. The key is choosing the right treatment for your scar type and skin condition.

How much does acne scar removal cost?

Costs vary depending on the treatment type, number of sessions needed, and the area being treated. We’ll provide a personalized estimate during your consultation. While it’s an investment, many patients find the boost in confidence well worth it.

Are the results permanent?

Results are long-lasting, especially when combined with good skincare. We offer popular medical-grade skincare options in addition to Dr. Brunner’s exclusive product line. Some treatments stimulate collagen production, providing ongoing improvement for months after your last session. To maintain your results, we recommend periodic touch-ups and a solid skincare routine.

Can all skin types be treated?

Yes, we have treatments safe for all skin types and tones. This is crucial because some older treatments risked discoloration in darker skin. We’ll carefully assess your skin and recommend the safest, most effective option for you, whether you have fair or deeply pigmented skin.

How soon can I wear makeup after treatment?

It depends on the specific treatment, but usually within 24-48 hours. For some gentle treatments, you might be able to apply makeup the same day. We’ll give you detailed aftercare instructions to ensure the best healing and results. We can also recommend mineral-based makeup that’s gentle on treated skin.

What's the difference between at-home treatments and professional treatments?

Professional treatments use medical-grade technology that goes deeper and is more effective than over-the-counter products. While home treatments might help with very mild scarring, they can’t match the power and precision of in-office procedures. Our treatments can target specific scar types and skin layers for dramatic, lasting results that home remedies simply can’t achieve.
