Acne Scar Treatments in Calgary

Your Path to Smoother Skin

Acne scars can remain long after breakouts have cleared, leaving changes in skin texture, tone or both. At our Calgary clinics, we offer personalized acne scar treatment plans based on your skin, the type and depth of your scars, and your goals. Depending on your needs, your plan may include treatments such as microneedling, fractional laser or medical peels to gradually improve the appearance of acne scars and create a smoother, more even-looking complexion.

Not All Acne Scars Are the Same

No two acne journeys are the same, and neither is the way skin heals. Whether a breakout leaves a shallow mark, a raised texture, or a lingering change in colour depends on the depth of the initial blemish and how your skin heals. Understanding these differences is the first step in building a personalized treatment plan designed around your skin and the types of acne scars you have.

Depressed Acne Scars

Deep acne inflammation can damage collagen and the supporting tissue beneath the skin. During healing, the skin tries to rebuild this structure, but when too little collagen is produced, the new tissue cannot fully replace what was lost. The result is a depressed, or atrophic, scar. Depending on the pattern of tissue damage, these depressions can take the form of narrow ice pick scars, defined boxcar scars, or broader rolling scars.

Hypertrophic or Raised Scars

Sometimes, the healing process produces more collagen than the damaged tissue needs. This excess can create a raised scar instead of one that sits level with the surrounding skin. Hypertrophic scars remain within the area of the original acne lesion, while keloids can continue growing beyond its borders. Genetics, the inflammatory response, and the way your skin regulates collagen production can all influence this type of scarring.

Post-Inflammatory Marks

Inflammation can also leave a visible trace without permanently changing the skin’s structure. During a breakout, inflammatory signals can widen blood vessels or stimulate pigment-producing cells called melanocytes. This can leave flat red or pink marks, known as post-inflammatory erythema, or brown or darker spots, known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Unlike depressed or raised scars, these changes primarily affect skin colour rather than its texture.
