Scar Vanish
Acne may fade, but it can leave unwelcome reminders in the form of scars and pits. Our Scar Vanish treatment is a transformative solution that erases or dramatically softens acne scars, helping you reclaim smooth, even skin and self-confidence. We combine multiple advanced techniques to target different types of acne scarring (from pitted “icepick” scars to broader depressions), all in one session. This comprehensive approach prompts the skin to heal and remodel itself, filling in indentations with new collagen. Key steps in a Scar Vanish session include:
Fractional Radiofrequency Microneedling: A state-of-the-art device delivers tiny needles into the scarred skin, releasing focused RF energy below the surface. This creates microscopic remodel zones that kickstart intensive collagen production and skin renewal. As the skin repairs over the following weeks, scar depressions lift and texture becomes more even. Unlike traditional laser resurfacing, this method is safe for all skin tones with minimal downtime.
Subcision with Coating Injection: For deeper, tethered scars, Nurse Andrew performs a gentle subcision – using a fine needle to break the fibrous bands pulling the scar inward. Once the scar tissue is released, we immediately inject our signature Coating (a regenerative blend of your own PRP plus collagen-stimulating fillers) under the scar. This action literally lifts the scar from beneath, as the void is filled with healing platelets and collagen boosters. Over time, the Coating encourages fresh tissue to form in the scar’s place, leading to a smoother surface.
Depending on your unique skin, additional modalities like a light peel or tailored laser pass may be incorporated, but the two steps above form the core of Scar Vanish. The procedure is done under topical numbing, so discomfort is very manageable (you’ll feel only mild pokes and warmth). Afterwards, your skin will be a bit red and sensitive – similar to a moderate sunburn – for a day or two. We apply a calming mask and post-care cream to speed healing. You can typically use mineral makeup and resume routine activities the next day.
Improvements start becoming visible within a couple of weeks as new collagen fills in the scars, and the results build with time. Acne pits grow shallower and the overall skin tone and firmness improve. Most patients need a series of 2–4 Scar Vanish sessions (spaced about a month apart) for maximum scar fading, especially for old or severe scars – but even after one session you will notice progress. This combination treatment tackles acne scars from the inside out, harnessing your skin’s own regenerative power. In the end, you’re left with skin that looks smoother, healthier, and free from the shadows of past breakouts.
