Acne Scar Treatment in Garden City
Finally, a Real Solution for Acne Scarring
If you’ve spent years trying to cover acne scars with makeup or waiting for them to fade on their own, we have good news: they won’t fade on their own, but they absolutely can be treated. At Applied Aesthetic, we use a combination of the most advanced resurfacing and collagen-induction technologies available to visibly reduce acne scarring and give you the smooth, even skin you’ve been waiting for.
Why Acne Scars Are So Stubborn
Acne scars form when inflammation from a breakout damages the collagen structure in the dermis. Atrophic scars (ice pick, boxcar, rolling) leave behind depressions that require collagen remodeling from the inside out. Hyperpigmentation left by acne requires targeted pigment correction. No single treatment addresses both, which is why our approach is always layered.
Our Acne Scar Treatments
We combine the most advanced light-based and regenerative technologies available to calm overactive melanocytes, resurface pigmented skin, and rebuild from within.
HALO
HALO’s hybrid fractional laser is one of the most effective treatments for acne scarring available. Its ablative wavelength resurfaces the textured surface of scars while its non-ablative wavelength drives collagen remodeling deep into the dermis — simultaneously improving scar depth, skin texture, and post-acne discoloration. Most patients see dramatic improvement in 1–3 treatments.
BBL Hero
Effective for acne scars that are red.
SkinPen Microneedling
SkinPen is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device and a cornerstone of our acne scar protocols. By creating precise micro-injuries in the dermis, SkinPen triggers a powerful collagen synthesis response that gradually lifts and fills atrophic scars over a series of treatments. It’s safe for all skin tones and can be combined with PRF to significantly amplify results.
Morpheus8
For deeper, more structural scarring, Morpheus8’s RF microneedling penetrates to the subdermal level — delivering radiofrequency energy precisely where scar tissue lives. This drives a more intensive collagen remodeling response than surface-level microneedling alone, making it our most powerful tool for moderate-to-severe atrophic acne scars.
Treatment Series
Acne scar treatment is a process. Meaningful improvement typically requires a series of 3–6 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. We’ll build a personalized plan at your consultation based on your scar type, skin tone, and goals.
