Acne May Be Gone—But Scars Remain
For many people in Vancouver, the struggle doesn’t end when the breakouts stop. Acne scars can linger for years, affecting self-confidence long after your skin has cleared. Whether you’re dealing with ice-pick scars, rolling scars, or discoloration, it’s time to explore your options beyond the drugstore aisle.
At Skinnovate, we take acne scar removal seriously. Our packages don’t just stop at acne prevention—they include advanced, personalized treatments designed to restore smooth, radiant skin.
What Causes Acne Scarring?
Acne scars form when inflammation damages the skin’s tissue and the body doesn’t heal it properly. Factors that increase scarring include:
- Delaying treatment
- Picking or popping pimples
- Severe or cystic acne
- Lack of proper skincare post-breakouts
There are several types of scars, each requiring a different treatment approach:
- Atrophic scars (ice-pick, boxcar, rolling)
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
- Hypertrophic or keloid scars (less common on the face)
Why Over-the-Counter Creams Don’t Cut It
Most drugstore scar treatments simply fade pigmentation. They don’t rebuild collagen, resurface the skin, or tighten texture—crucial elements for treating true acne scars. If you’re looking for real results, professional intervention is a must.
Skinnovate’s Multi-Stack Strategy for Acne Scars
Our unique approach involves combining internal wellness support with aesthetic treatments. Here’s what sets us apart:
Clinical Treatments
These include:
- Laser Resurfacing
Penetrates the skin to stimulate collagen and smooth texture. Great for rolling and boxcar scars. - Microneedling
Creates micro-injuries that trigger the body’s natural repair process. Can be enhanced with exosomes or PRP (platelet-rich plasma). - Chemical Peels
Brighten and exfoliate the skin to even tone and reduce shallow scarring. - Hydrafacials
Gently resurfaces skin while infusing healing serums. - LED Therapy
Supports cellular regeneration and reduces redness from recent treatments.
Internal Wellness & Naturopathy (Support Stack)
Because real healing happens inside-out, we also integrate:
- Collagen-stimulating supplements
- Anti-inflammatory protocols
- Hormonal balancing (if hormonal acne is the root)
- Gut and liver detoxification support
Timeline of Healing
Here’s a general guide to what you can expect:
- Week 2-4: Pigmentation begins to fade. Skin feels more refined.
- Week 6-8: Texture visibly improves. Deeper scars soften.
- Week 12+: Collagen remodeling occurs. Long-term clarity and resilience emerge.
Scarring is stubborn, but with consistency and expert care, dramatic transformation is possible.
