The good news is there are powerful skin-care treatments that can work on the surface and deep within your skin to help rebuild collagen, smooth out imperfections, and give your confidence a boost.
If you are ready to reduce visible scarring left behind from acne breakouts, then this article is for you. We will provide you with an overview of some of the best acne scar treatments you can get in NYC with the professionals at Beauté Aesthetics.
What Are Some Of The Best Acne Scar Treatments Offered In NYC?
If you are looking for options for acne scar removal in New York, you are in the right place. The highly trained experts at Beauté Aesthetics offer a variety of cosmetic treatments that can reduce or eliminate the visible scarring left behind by acne breakouts. One of our specialists can help determine which treatment or combination of treatments will work best for you depending on the results you are looking for.
Morpheus8
Morpheus8 is a treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to target acne scars and improve your skin’s texture. It uses super-fine needles to create tiny channels in your skin while simultaneously sending radiofrequency heat to travel deep into the lower layers of your skin. The combination of these two techniques triggers your body to start rebuilding collagen and elastin, which are the proteins responsible for keeping skin firm, smooth, and youthful-looking.
Morpheus8 can be especially helpful for people with atrophic scars (those sunken or pitted ones left behind by acne), uneven skin texture, mild redness, and even some mild skin laxity. One of the best things about the Morpheus8 treatment is that it can be customized to treat a variety of skin concerns to help you get amazing results. The treatment can be tailored to treat your specific concerns by setting the depth of the needles anywhere from 0.5 to 4 millimeters, so it can effectively treat surface-level scars, or it can go deeper to tackle the more challenging ones.
Most people need at least three to four sessions, which are usually spaced four to six weeks apart, to get the results they desire. After a session, your skin might feel like it has a mild sunburn for a few days, and you might see a few tiny scabs, but most people are able to go back to their normal routines right away.
You can expect to see significant improvements in your complexion after just one treatment, with brighter, healthier-looking skin, and after several consecutive treatments, your acne scars will be much less noticeable. Your skin will continue to improve over the next three to six months as your body keeps producing new collagen. Another great thing about Morpheus8 is that it is safe for all skin tones, and there is a much lower risk of developing dark spots than after laser treatments.
PRP Therapy
PRP therapy is the common term used for a platelet-rich plasma treatment, which uses your body’s own healing power to refresh and repair your skin. The treatment starts with a small tube of your blood that is drawn and then placed in a centrifuge. Your blood is spun at a high speed that separates it into layers, isolating the platelet-rich-plasma, which is a golden-colored fluid (often referred to as “liquid gold” for skin) packed with natural growth factors that help your body heal naturally, manufacture new collagen, and stay properly hydrated.
PRP is commonly used to treat fine lines, rough texture, red or dark spots, and acne scars. Before the treatment begins, a numbing cream is applied to the treatment areas to help you stay comfortable. Then, the isolated platelet rich plasma is either injected in targeted locations, or microneedling is used to create tiny openings in the surface of your skin, allowing the PRP to sink in and work its magic.
Depending on the extent of your acne scars, you may need anywhere between two and six sessions of PRP therapy, spaced about four to six weeks apart, to achieve significant improvement. After each session, your skin may look red and feel sensitive for a few days but normally does not cause peeling or require major recovery time.
PRP therapy can gradually improve the texture of your skin, shrink your pores, give you a healthy glow, and help fade acne scars. It is very important to have this treatment done by a qualified professional because poor technique or an unclean environment can lead to infection and other undesirable complications.
VI Peel
The VI Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel that uses a special blend of ingredients to remove damaged outer layers of skin and trigger the growth of new skin. It contains acids like TCA (trichloroacetic acid), salicylic acid, and retinoic acid, which work together to exfoliate the skin, smooth out rough patches, and improve tone and clarity to your entire complexion.
After a VI Peel, many people notice that their skin looks more even and less red. Areas of hyperpigmentation fade, and acne scars look softer and less visible. This skin treatment works well for people dealing with uneven skin tone or surface-level scarring because it eliminates an entire layer of skin, allowing the fresh new layer underneath to be uncovered.
Skin peels have associated downtime, which will depend on the extent of your treatment and your skin type. Most people experience noticeable peeling for at least three to seven days after their VI Peel. Once the peeling has finished, fresh, smooth skin is revealed underneath. The VI Peel treatment can be used alternately with other treatments like microneedling or PRP to deliver optimal results.
Diamond Glow Facial
The Diamond Glow facial is a type of microdermabrasion that is combined with infusion therapy and is gentle but effective and gives your skin an instant boost. During the treatment, a special handheld device that contains a specialty diamond-coated attachment is used to exfoliate the outer layer of your skin. At the same time, it delivers a serum that is custom blended for you to hydrate, brighten, and nourish your skin. This two-for-one treatment leaves your face feeling clean, refreshed, and noticeably smoother.
One of the biggest benefits of the Diamond Glow facial is it helps fade mild discoloration, smooths uneven texture, and leaves your skin looking polished, healthy, and glowing. There is no downtime at all, and when you walk out of your session, your skin will feel soft and look radiant. This facial is recommended as a part of a good skin maintenance routine and can help prepare your face for PRP treatments or other acne scar treatments for best results.
LaseMD Ultra
LaseMD Ultra is a non-ablative fractional laser treatment that helps improve skin from the inside out without damaging the surface. It works by creating microchannels in the skin that stimulate natural collagen production, which helps smooth out the texture and improves your entire complexion. Unlike deeper or more aggressive lasers, LaseMD Ultra offers minimal downtime but gives you noticeable results.
LaseMD Ultra treatments work well for people who would like to target uneven skin tone, rough texture, pigmentation problems, and mild to moderate acne scarring. The laser energy prompts your skin to gradually repair itself, which gives your complexion a smoother, clearer, and more even appearance. Most people need to complete a series of LaseMD sessions to achieve their desired results, which will continue to improve for several weeks after each treatment.
LaseMD Ultra is gentle and highly customizable, so it works well on many different skin tones and types and can be used on the face, neck, and even the chest.

Tips To Consider When Seeking Acne Scar Treatments
- Choose an experienced, trusted professional who is licensed and board-certified and works in a clean, safe environment like those at Beauté Aesthetics. This ensures that your acne scar treatment is performed by a qualified individual who knows what they are doing so you get the best possible results without any complications.
- Before your treatment, you will be advised to stop using certain skincare products like retinoids or acids and to avoid sun exposure to ensure your skin is in the best shape so the procedure can safely deliver the results you want.
- After your treatment, take care of your skin according to the aftercare instructions provided by your specialist. Use gentle cleansers and moisturizers, always wear broad-spectrum sunscreen, and avoid intense workouts or sweating for a few days while your skin heals.
- Be patient when looking for the full results. These treatments offer some immediate results, but most of the improvements will gradually become visible as your skin rebuilds new collagen and elastin, which can take a few months.
- Regular maintenance can help keep your complexion glowing, and since each treatment builds on the previous one, your acne scars will gradually become less visible.
