Acne Scar Treatment in Kingwood, TX

What causes acne scars?

Acne scars develop when inflammation damages the deeper layers of the skin. During healing, your body produces new collagen, but the repaired tissue often differs from the surrounding skin.

Some scars form because too little collagen is produced, creating depressions in the skin, while others develop when excess collagen forms raised scars.

At Vedas Medical Spa, we evaluate your skin to determine which treatments will provide the best improvement.

Kinds of scars

We treat many types of acne scars, including:

• Ice Pick Scars – Deep, narrow scars
• Boxcar Scars – Wide depressions with defined edges
• Rolling Scars – Broad depressions with smooth, sloping edges
• Atrophic Scars – Flat or sunken scars caused by collagen loss
• Hypertrophic & Keloid Scars – Raised scars caused by excess collagen production

While acne scars cannot always be completely removed, they can often be dramatically improved with professional treatments.

Dermal Fillers

Bellafill and other fillers can immediately improve depressed acne scars by lifting them closer to the surrounding skin.

Microdermabrasion

Helpful for improving very superficial skin irregularities and maintaining smoother skin.

• Steroid injections
• Cryotherapy
