Transform Texture, Regain Confidence

At Cara Plastic Surgery in Los Angeles, we understand how deeply acne scars can impact both your skin and your self-esteem. That’s why we offer a full range of advanced, medically guided acne scar treatments — designed to reduce visible scarring and improve skin texture with little to no downtime. Whether you struggle with pitted scars, discoloration, or rough texture, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan to help you feel confident in your skin again.

What Causes Acne Scars?

Acne scars form when breakouts penetrate deep into the skin, damaging the tissue beneath. As the body heals, it can produce too little or too much collagen — leading to atrophic scars (indented or pitted) or hypertrophic scars (raised or thickened). Common types of acne scars include:

Boxcar Scars – Broad, shallow depressions with defined edges
Ice Pick Scars – Deep, narrow scars that resemble small holes
Rolling Scars – Soft, wave-like indentations
Post-inflammatory Hyperpigmentation – Dark spots or discoloration left behind after inflammation

At Cara Plastic Surgery, we use multiple technologies and techniques to treat all scar types effectively.

Our Approach to Acne Scar Treatment in Los Angeles

No two scars — or skin types — are exactly alike. Each treatment plan is carefully tailored to your skin tone, scar type, and downtime preferences. We offer combination treatments to target different layers of the skin and support optimal healing:

Microneedling with RF (Radiofrequency) – Stimulates collagen deep in the skin for smoother texture
Laser Resurfacing – Precisely removes damaged surface layers for dramatic skin renewal
Chemical Peels – Brighten and resurface skin while softening shallow scars
Subcision – Releases tethered scar tissue from beneath for lifted, more even skin
Dermal Fillers – Temporarily raise depressed scars for immediate improvement
