Acne Scar Treatment Calgary
Smooth textured scars, fade dark marks, and rebuild your skin's confidence with medical-grade treatments designed for lasting results.
Your Scars Deserve Expert Treatment
Acne scars come in many forms, and each responds best to a specific approach. At Lavish Beauty, we use Microneedling for deep collagen rebuilding, Laser Genesis for texture and tone refinement, and Green Peel for surface renewal. Together, they address every type of acne scar.
Types of Acne Scars We Treat
Ice Pick Scars
Deep, narrow, pitted scars. Microneedling stimulates collagen to fill these from the base up.
Boxcar Scars
Broad depressions with defined edges. Microneedling combined with Laser Genesis yields the best results.
Rolling Scars
Wave-like undulations across the skin. Collagen remodelling from microneedling smooths the surface.
Dark Marks (PIH)
Flat discolouration left after breakouts. HydraFacial and Laser Genesis fade these effectively.

Microneedling
The gold standard for acne scars. Creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger up to 400% collagen increase. Fills depressed scars from within. $300 per session.

Gentle dermal heating improves skin texture, reduces post-inflammatory redness, and stimulates collagen for a smoother surface. From $160.
Green Peel
Natural herbal peel accelerates removal of scarred surface cells, revealing fresh, even-toned skin. From $215 to $350.
HydraFacial
Brightening boosters fade PIH while deep hydration supports healing. The perfect complement to active scar treatments. From $199.
Common Questions
What is the best treatment for acne scars?
+
Microneedling is widely considered the most effective non-surgical treatment for acne scars because it triggers up to 400% increase in collagen production, directly rebuilding the depressed scar tissue. For comprehensive results, we often combine it with Laser Genesis for texture refinement and Green Peel for surface renewal.
How many sessions will I need for acne scars?
+
Most clients see significant improvement in 4 to 6 microneedling sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Deeper ice pick and boxcar scars may benefit from 6 to 8 sessions. Results continue improving for up to 6 months after your final session as new collagen matures.
Can you treat dark marks left from acne (PIH)?
+
Yes. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation responds well to HydraFacial with brightening boosters, Laser Genesis for dispersing melanin, and Green Peel for accelerating turnover of pigmented cells. Treatment is safe for all skin tones, including darker complexions prone to PIH.
Is microneedling painful for acne scars?
+
We apply professional-grade numbing cream 30 minutes before your session. Most clients describe the sensation as mild pressure rather than pain. Your skin will be red for 24 to 72 hours afterward, similar to a moderate sunburn, then settles to reveal smoother skin.
Is acne scar treatment safe for dark skin?
+
Absolutely. Microneedling, HydraFacial, Green Peel, and Dermaplaning are all inherently safe for every skin tone. Laser Genesis uses the 1064nm wavelength, the safest laser for melanin-rich skin. We customise all parameters to your Fitzpatrick type.
How much does acne scar treatment cost?
+
Microneedling is $300 per session (full face). Laser Genesis is from $160. Green Peel ranges from $215 to $350. HydraFacial is from $199. Many clients benefit from a combination approach. We will recommend the most effective plan during your consultation.
