Acne Scar Treatment Before and After

Acne scars can be just as frustrating as acne itself. The most common type, atrophic scars, occur when inflammation from breakouts damages collagen and elastin, leaving depressions in the skin. These can be shallow or deep. Patients often search for pictures of acne scars before and after to see what treatment can achieve.

At Aglow Dermatology, we specialize in advanced therapies that help restore smoother skin and confidence. Options for acne scar treatment include chemical peels, lasers, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), subcision, microneedling, and rf microneedling. Among these, RF microneedling is one of the safest and most versatile solutions. It stimulates new collagen production and remodels scar tissue. Unlike many lasers, it can be performed year-round, has little to no downtime, and is safe for all skin types, from light to dark.

The case shown here is a white man in his 50s who lived with acne scars for years that had never been treated. After undergoing a series of RF microneedling sessions with the Cutera Secret RF device, he experienced visible improvement in skin texture and reduction in scar depth. While every patient is unique and results are not guaranteed, his transformation illustrates the potential of this approach.

You can also see the results in this acne scars treatment before and after in an African American man, which demonstrates the safety and effectiveness of rf microneedling across a wide range of skin tones.

Most patients benefit from three treatments spaced about one month apart. RF microneedling can also improve wrinkles, skin laxity, and stretch marks.
