Texture after breakouts
Acne Scar Treatment in Vienna, VA
Understanding the concern
The cause
Why acne scarring lingers
- Deep or inflamed breakouts can damage the collagen beneath the skin as they heal.
- The skin then heals unevenly, leaving pitted, boxcar or rolling texture.
- Surface products work on the top layer, while this texture sits below it.
What can help
How resurfacing helps
- Fractional CO2 resurfacing places precise microcolumns of laser energy into the skin.
- That prompts fresh collagen, which can soften the look of pitted, boxcar and rolling scars over the months after treatment.
- Results build gradually, and individual results vary.

Questions
Acne Scar Treatment: common questions
Can CoolPeel help with acne scars?
CoolPeel can soften the look of mild acne scarring by resurfacing the top layer of skin and prompting new collagen. Deeper scars may need a short series or a deeper DEKA Pulse treatment, and we map that out with you at a free consultation.
Does it work on surgical or other scars too?
The same fractional CO2 approach is used on surgical and traumatic scars to improve their texture. Your specialist will assess the scar at your consultation.
How much downtime should I plan for?
CoolPeel recovery is typically 1 to 3 days of redness, similar to a mild sunburn. The deeper DEKA Pulse treatment has 5 to 10 days of peeling and redness. We help you choose the option that fits your skin and your calendar.
How do I know which treatment is right for me?
Every plan starts with a free consultation. Your specialist looks at your skin, your goals and the recovery time you can give it, then recommends CoolPeel, a deeper DEKA Pulse treatment, or neither.
