Acne scar reduction uses laser and resurfacing treatments to soften the dents, rough texture and leftover marks that old breakouts leave behind. Each session prompts your skin to build fresh collagen under the scarred areas.
At Golden Rose in Apopka/Orlando, FL, Dr. Vega begins with a review of your scar types, complexion and current breakouts. On treatment day, numbing cream goes on first so you stay comfortable. Dr. Vega or a trained nurse then moves the device over your scars with settings chosen for your skin. A session usually takes less than an hour, and your plan is a series of visits with healing time between each one.
Acne scars change gradually, so think in terms of a series rather than a single visit. Small texture changes can appear after a few weeks. As sessions add up, depressions look shallower and red or brown marks fade. Collagen keeps remodeling for months once your series ends. Deep scars rarely disappear completely, and Dr. Vega explains your realistic range before you begin.
People with boxcar or rolling scars, or lingering marks and rough texture from past breakouts, may benefit.
Darker skin can be treated, with settings adjusted for your complexion.
You should be ready to commit to a series of visits and a steady skincare routine.
You are willing to adjust your skincare and stop tanning before sessions.
Acne Scar Treatment Goals
These look like small, shallow craters with sharper edges, often on the cheeks or temples. They tend to catch every bit of light and can make skin appear rough even when it feels smooth.
Fractional laser and resurfacing treatments stimulate new collagen under the depression so the base of the scar lifts and the harsh shadow softens over time.
Inflamed breakouts can damage the collagen framework that supports your skin, so it heals in with a sunken, flat-bottomed mark instead of filling back in evenly.
What to expect from first visit to full result
After session 1 · collagen is switched on
Collagen activation starts beneath the scarred areas while the surface looks pink or slightly puffy for a short time. As the skin settles over the next few days, you may feel smoother patches, with early texture changes becoming easier to notice as time passes.
Ongoing sessions · visible refinement
Each treatment adds another layer of remodeling. Depressed scars begin to look shallower, rough patches soften, and leftover red or brown marks start to fade. Makeup sits more evenly and your skin reads smoother, even if some deeper scars still show in certain light.
Refinement phase · results settle in
Collagen continues to organize and thicken for months after your last visit. This is when the most meaningful change shows, with softer edges, less shadow in the hollows, and an overall smoother, clearer look that reflects the full benefit of your acne scar treatment plan with Dr. Vega.

FAQ
Here are direct answers to common questions about acne scar treatment before you visit Golden Rose Wellness & Medical Spa.
The best treatment depends on your scar type, depth, and skin tone. At Golden Rose Wellness & Medical Spa, Dr. Vega studies how your scars sit in the skin and then recommends the laser or resurfacing series that fits what your skin shows in the room.
You usually need a series because collagen change is gradual. Dr. Vega reviews your scar severity at your consultation and outlines how many sessions are likely for visible improvement, plus how often you will come in so you can plan ahead.
Deep atrophic scars rarely disappear completely, but many can be softened so they draw far less light and attention. The goal at Golden Rose is meaningful, natural-looking improvement in depth, texture, and clarity, with results explained honestly before you commit to treatment.
You may notice subtle texture shifts within a few weeks, but the most noticeable change builds slowly as new collagen forms. Many patients see their clearest difference a little while after finishing their series with Golden Rose Wellness & Medical Spa.
Acne scar treatment can be safe for darker skin when energy settings and techniques are chosen with pigment in mind. Dr. Vega considers your complexion, history of discoloration, and past treatments before planning so resurfacing respects both your tone and your barrier.
Yes. You usually pause strong actives like retinoids and exfoliating acids and avoid tanning before treatment. At your consultation, Dr. Vega reviews your full skincare routine step by step and gives you clear stop and restart dates for each product.
Laser and resurfacing treatments create controlled micro-injuries in and around the scarred areas so your skin lays down fresh collagen as it repairs. Over time this can lift depressions, blur sharp edges, and refine texture. At Golden Rose, a trained practitioner performs each session after numbing and explains what you may feel and see at every stage.
Pricing for acne scar treatment at Golden Rose Wellness & Medical Spa depends on which device is used, how many sessions your plan includes, and how much area is treated. You receive your full quote at the consultation, along with any package options, so you know the total before you decide to begin.
