Acne Scar Treatment in Vancouver
What Causes Acne Scars?
Acne scars develop when acne breakouts compromise the skin’s collagen, an essential protein for maintaining skin elasticity and structure. Depending on the severity of the damage, the skin may either produce too much or too little collagen during healing, leading to scarring.

Acne Scars FAQs
How long does it take for acne scars to fade?
The time required for acne scars to fade varies by type. Atrophic scars may take 3-6 months, while hypertrophic scars can take up to a year. Professional treatments, such as laser treatments or microneedling, can help accelerate this process. Recurrence can occur, so repeat treatments may be necessary.
Can acne scars be removed naturally?
While certain skincare routines and topical creams may reduce mild scars, advanced acne scar treatments, such as chemical peels and RF microneedling, provide more effective solutions for visible and lasting improvements.
Why do my acne scars look worse some days?
Just like having good hair days and bad hair days, there are days when your acne scars don’t look that obvious, and other days when you’d be compelled to compare them to a bright neon sign. Acne scars are sensitive to inflammation caused by stress and hormonal changes, as well as your diet, hydration level, and sun exposure. Your skincare routine—and the products you use—also have a say in how your scars look from day to day.
