Acne is frustrating enough. But when the breakouts fade and leave scars behind, the real challenge begins. Facial scarring from acne—especially deep or textured scars—can feel permanent. The good news? You’re not stuck with them. Today, there are several effective treatments to reduce, fade, or even erase acne scars. But not all scars are created equal, and neither are treatments.
Here’s a breakdown of the most common types of acne scars and the best treatments for each—plus what you can realistically expect in terms of results.
Treatment 1: Factor 5 Peel
What it is
Factor 5 Peel is a professional-grade chemical peel designed to trigger deep exfoliation and skin renewal. It penetrates multiple layers of skin, encouraging new, healthy skin cells to replace old, scarred tissue.
How it helps acne scars
Breaks up damaged skin cells
Improves texture by resurfacing the outer layers
Fades discoloration from previous breakouts
Stimulates collagen to plump and smooth pitted areas
What to expect
Peeling begins a few days after treatment.
Recovery takes about 5–7 days.
Noticeable improvement in skin tone and clarity within 1–2 weeks.
Best results with a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart.
This peel works especially well for surface-level acne scarring and uneven skin tone. It’s a go-to for people looking to reset their skin without downtime from lasers.
What it is
Procell Microchanneling is a next-gen version of microneedling that uses precision microfilaments to create thousands of tiny, controlled injuries in the skin—kickstarting a powerful healing response. It also delivers human growth-factor serums directly into the skin for amplified results.
How it helps acne scars
Stimulates collagen and elastin to rebuild damaged tissue
Smooths out texture from pitted or uneven scars
Minimizes pores and overall roughness
Improves tone and skin firmness
What to expect
Redness for 24–48 hours post-treatment.
Minimal downtime—most people return to normal activities the next day.
Skin feels tighter, smoother, and more refined within a week.
Series of 3–6 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart recommended for best results.
Procell is ideal for moderate scarring, especially rolling or boxcar types. It also works well when paired with chemical peels like Factor 5 to address multiple layers of scarring.
Acne scars are stubborn—but with targeted, professional treatments like Factor 5 Peel and Procell Microchanneling, you can finally smooth the bumps, even out the tone, and get your skin looking and feeling like you again.
