Acne Scar Treatment

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to commonly asked questions by patients seeking treatment with Skin Rejuvenation.

  • Is treatment safe for darker skin?
    Microneedling and RF microneedling can be used across a broad range of skin types, and peels are chosen with extra care for deeper skin tones. Suitability is decided at your assessment.
  • Peel or microneedling?
    Peels work on the surface: tone, dullness, pigmentation. Microneedling works deeper: texture, scars, firmness. Many patients alternate the two.
  • Can you lift my brows without surgery?
    Often, yes. A few units of wrinkle relaxer in the muscles that pull the brow down can give a subtle lift. Combined with RF microneedling on the forehead the effect is usually stronger.
  • What results can I expect?
    Patients commonly report:

    • improved hydration and glow

    • smoother texture

    • reduced appearance of redness

    • healthier-looking skin tone

    When combined with procedures such as microneedling or laser, exosomes may enhance post-treatment recovery and support visible skin-quality improvement over the following weeks.

    As with any regenerative treatment, results vary from person to person.
  • How many sessions will I need?
    Most patients do a series of 3–4 sessions, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart. Deeper scarring or more laxity may need more. Our physician sets the number after assessing your skin.
  • Who is a good candidate?
    Adults seeking overall skin quality improvement or support after collagen-stimulating procedures. Not appropriate during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with active infections, or with skin cancers in the treatment area. Our physician confirms suitability at your consultation.

Acne & Acne Scar Treatment

Clear • Repair • Resurface • Physician-Assessed

Acne is not just a teenage problem, and acne scars can often be made much less noticeable.

Whether you are dealing with breakouts now, with the marks and pits they left behind, or both, in-clinic treatments go well beyond creams and over-the-counter products. At Valoura Med Spa a physician assesses your skin first, so you are treated for what is actually there rather than sold a standard package.

Our clinic is in Savoy, minutes from Champaign and Urbana.

TREATING ACTIVE ACNE

Clear congestion, calm inflammation, prevent new scars.

Options:

  • ✓ Acne and clarifying BHA peels – clear pores and reduce oil; the number of treatments is planned with you
  • ✓ Hydrofacial Glow Treatment with an acne booster – deep cleansing and extraction for congested skin
  • ✓ Medical skincare and, where appropriate, prescription treatment from our physician

TREATING ACNE SCARS

Different scars need different tools.
  • ✓ Rolling and atrophic scars – medical or RF microneedling, depending on depth and skin characteristics
  • ✓ Selected depressed scars – dermal filler may be considered
  • ✓ More complex or deeply pitted scars – evaluated individually to determine the appropriate treatment approach
  • ✓ Red or brown post-acne marks – chemical peels and other appropriate brightening treatments
  • ✓ Microneedling may be combined with PRP or PRF in selected patients as part of an individualized scar-treatment plan

RESULTS TIMELINE

Typical Results Timeline

Every patient is different. These are typical ranges, not a promise, and your physician will set your plan.

  • ✓ Active acne: often improves over 1–3 months with a consistent plan
  • ✓ Scars: many patients see gradual improvement over the course of treatment
  • ✓ Number of sessions: individualized – planned after your consultation
  • ✓ Downtime: peels minimal; microneedling usually 1–3 days of redness

WHAT TO EXPECT

  1. Consultation: our physician examines your skin, checks whether acne is active and classifies any scarring. You get a staged plan and price.
  2. Treatment: peels are quick; microneedling and RF microneedling use numbing cream.
  3. Results: gradual and cumulative. Scars typically become less noticeable over the course of treatment.

WHO SHOULD WAIT

Please postpone scar treatment or tell us if you:
  • ✓ Are currently taking or have recently taken isotretinoin (Accutane) – please discuss this during your consultation
  • ✓ Have a cold sore or skin infection
  • ✓ Are pregnant
  • ✓ Have severe active acne (treated first)

This list is a guide only. Our physician confirms suitability at your consultation.
