DermaPen
For mild acne scarring, Advanced Dermatology & Cosmetic Care recommends DermaPen micro-needling treatments. DermaPen is a needle delivery system that can be individually targeted to acne scars at different depths. Each needle punctures the skin and breaks down collagen, which results in scar remodeling. This treatment provides a simple, cost-effective method of acne scar revision and can be safely used on all skin types. The results are similar compared to lasers, and cost is kept to a minimum at $350 per treatment.

The perfect solution to acne-prone skin, it balances oil production, diminishes enlarged pores, refines uneven skin texture and helps with acne scarring.

VI Acne Peel
The VI Acne Peel is amazing! Its targeted solution purifies blemish-prone skin, smoothing scars that acne may leave behind. The potent VI Peel ingredients promote clearer skin in just seven days. For best results, a series of three peels is recommended. Also remarkable: The way the Fraxel 1927 Skin Resurfacing laser treats severe acne scarring. This safe, non-ablative laser fractionally replaces 25 percent of the skin's surface with each treatment, has minimal down time and most patients return to regular routines the next day. For best results, a series of four treatments is recommended.
