Scars—whether from severe acne during youth, an accident, past surgery, or minor skin trauma—are the visible reminder of the skin’s healing process. However, when these marks remain deep, pigmented, or with an uneven texture, they stop being just a memory of the past and become a constant source of cosmetic frustration.
Unlike superficial blemishes, scars alter the underlying structure of the dermis. Atrophic scars, common after acne, create small depressions, while hypertrophic scars present an excess of fibrous tissue. Attempting to diminish these structural lesions using over-the-counter cosmetic creams or serums is a major cause of disappointment, as no topical product can restructure disorganized collagen fibers in the deeper layers of the skin.
The Importance of Treating Tissue from the Root
Every scar is unique in depth, coloration, and age, which is why there is no single treatment suitable for every case. At Lotus Esthetic & Skin Care, we approach scar correction with an advanced, personalized dermo-aesthetic focus, combining top medical technology to smooth the skin’s surface and even out skin tone.

Specialized Scar Reduction Treatments Available at Lotus
- Microneedling with PDRN (Polynucleotides): Ideal for atrophic acne scars. Micro-needles create controlled micro-injuries to stimulate repair processes and collagen remodeling, while the infusion of PDRN (derived from salmon DNA) repairs cellular DNA and accelerates new collagen production to “fill” depressions from within.
- Fractional CO2 Laser: Can be used in specific cases to perform controlled skin resurfacing and improve the texture and appearance of certain scars by creating microscopic thermal columns that vaporize aged scar tissue, prompting the skin to synthesize a new, firm, and smooth layer.
- Dermaplaning and Chemical Peels: Essential for eliminating post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (the dark or reddish spots often left behind by acne) and smoothing irregularities on the outermost layer of the skin.
- Fillers with Hyaluronic Acid or Biostimulators: For very deep atrophic scars, micro-injections of hyaluronic acid provide immediate lifting and hydration to the depression, restoring a smooth, even surface to the face.
What Types of Acne Scars Can Be Treated?
- Atrophic Scars: Depressions or indentations in the skin.
- Ice Pick Scars: Small, deep, pitted scars.
- Boxcar Scars: Depressions with sharply defined edges.
- Rolling Scars: Wave-like irregularities caused by fibrous bands beneath the skin.
- Hypertrophic Scars: Raised bumps caused by an overproduction of scar tissue.

Preguntas Frecuentes (Lotus-FAQ)
Can acne scars be completely removed?
Acne scars cannot always be removed completely, but targeted treatments can significantly improve their texture, depth, and overall appearance. Results depend on the type of scar and individual skin characteristics.
How many sessions are needed to improve acne scars?
The number of sessions varies depending on severity. Generally, 3 to 6 sessions of regenerative treatments (such as Microneedling or CO2 Laser) spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart are recommended to achieve optimal, cumulative results.
Are scar treatments painful?
No. To ensure your comfort during any non-invasive or minimally invasive procedure (such as Laser or Microneedling), we apply a high-potency topical numbing cream, making the treatment very manageable.
Can I undergo these treatments if I have active acne breakouts?
If you have active inflammatory acne, we must first clear infection and inflammation through deep cleansing and targeted acne therapies. Once your skin is stabilized, we can proceed with the scar removal phase.
What is the best treatment for acne scars?
The best treatment depends entirely on the type and depth of your scars, which is why an expert skin evaluation is required to determine the ideal treatment plan for your skin.
