Acne and Acne Scar Treatment
At Hawaii Dermatology & Surgery, we offer advanced treatments that effectively target both acne and acne scars. These cutting-edge, non-invasive procedures use professional techniques to clear up acne and reduce the appearance of scars, helping you achieve healthier, smoother skin. Whether you're dealing with active breakouts or the long-term effects of acne scars, personalized options like microneedling, chemical peels, and CO2 laser treatment can help restore your complexion and boost your confidence.

What Is Acne and Acne Scar Treatment?
Advanced non-invasive treatments are powerful solutions that combine professional techniques to target and treat active acne and acne scars. Treatments work by addressing the underlying causes of breakouts and stimulating collagen production to heal and remodel scar tissue. Our procedures are generally safe for various skin types and, depending on the chosen treatment (Microneedling, Chemical Peels, or CO2 Laser), downtime can be minimal, making them excellent choices for those seeking clearer, smoother skin without harsh medications or invasive surgery.
How Acne and Acne Scar Treatment Pro Works
Microneedling, Peels, and Laser
- Microneedling creates micro-injuries to stimulate the body's natural healing and collagen production, dramatically improving the texture of scars.
- Chemical Peels use specialized solutions to exfoliate the top layers of skin, removing dead cells, clearing pores, and lightening hyperpigmentation.
- CO2 Laser delivers targeted energy to resurface the skin, vaporizing damaged tissue and promoting deep collagen remodeling for significant scar reduction.
Conditions Treated with Acne and Acne Scar Treatment
Our advanced treatments are highly effective in treating both active acne and the scars left behind by acne, including:
- Active acne – Targets and reduces pimples, blackheads, and cystic acne.
- Acne scars – Reduces the appearance of raised, indented, and hyperpigmented acne scars.
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation – Helps lighten dark spots caused by past acne.
- Enlarged pores – Improves the appearance of pores enlarged due to acne.
