Acne can be frustrating at any age—but even more disheartening than the breakouts themselves are the stubborn marks they leave behind. Acne scars can linger long after blemishes have faded, impacting skin texture and overall radiance. As we embrace the summer season, there’s no better time to address these imperfections and restore your skin’s smooth, even glow.
At Carisma Aesthetics, we offer a range of non-invasive aesthetic treatments that effectively target acne scars and promote flawless, healthy-looking skin. Whether you’re preparing for holiday photos or simply want to feel confident in your own skin, our tailored options can help you reach your skincare goals.
Why Treat Acne Scars in Summer?
Summer often brings an increased desire for radiant, makeup-free skin. However, rising temperatures and sun exposure can also intensify hyperpigmentation, making acne scars appear more prominent. Beginning treatment in summer—alongside proper sun protection—can accelerate healing and prevent further discoloration. With the right aesthetic strategy, summer can be the perfect season to start your skin transformation.
Understanding Acne Scars
Before diving into treatment options, it’s important to understand the types of acne scars:
Atrophic scars: Depressions or indentations in the skin, including ice pick, boxcar, and rolling scars.
Hypertrophic scars: Raised scars caused by excess collagen production during healing.
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH): Dark spots or discoloration left after inflammation.
Each scar type requires a personalized approach to effectively reduce its appearance.
The Best Aesthetic Treatments for Acne Scars
At Carisma Aesthetics, we believe in tailored solutions that work with your skin—not against it. Here are the top aesthetic treatments we recommend to combat acne scars this summer:
1. Microneedling
Microneedling (also known as collagen induction therapy) is one of the most effective treatments for acne scars. By creating controlled micro-injuries, it triggers the skin’s natural repair process, stimulating collagen and elastin production.
Best for: Atrophic scars, uneven texture, enlarged pores
Benefits: Minimal downtime, smoother skin, enhanced absorption of skincare products
Tip: For summer, we use post-treatment calming serums and provide detailed sun protection advice.
2. Chemical Peels
A professional chemical peel removes the damaged outer layers of the skin, reducing surface-level discoloration and improving overall texture.
Best for: Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, mild scarring
Benefits: Brightened complexion, smoother tone, reduced pigmentation
Tip: Mild to medium peels are recommended during summer with SPF use and minimal sun exposure.
3. Laser Skin Rejuvenation
Laser therapy is a powerful option for targeting deeper scars and discoloration. Fractional and resurfacing lasers help remodel collagen and fade pigmentation.
Best for: Deep atrophic scars, stubborn PIH
Benefits: Long-term results, significant texture improvement
Tip: Summer laser treatments must be carefully timed and require diligent sun protection, which our team will guide you through.
4. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy
Often paired with microneedling, PRP uses your body’s own growth factors to accelerate healing and skin regeneration.
Best for: Textural scars, slow-healing skin
Benefits: Natural rejuvenation, increased collagen, minimal risk of reaction
Tip: PRP is an excellent choice for clients looking for holistic, gentle recovery.
5. Mesotherapy with Skin Boosters
Injectable skin boosters packed with vitamins, hyaluronic acid, and peptides deeply hydrate and nourish scarred or tired-looking skin.
Best for: Dull, dehydrated skin, minor scarring
Benefits: Restores glow, evens tone, promotes healing from within
Tip: Ideal during summer when hydration is essential for skin health.
Combining Treatments for Maximum Results
In many cases, a combination of treatments offers the best results. For example, microneedling combined with PRP can accelerate collagen production, while a chemical peel may follow laser treatment to enhance skin clarity.
During your consultation at Carisma Aesthetics, we’ll assess your skin condition, type of scars, and lifestyle to create a personalized summer-friendly treatment plan.
Post-Treatment Care in Summer
Aftercare is crucial—especially during summer. Here are our expert tips:
SPF is non-negotiable: Use a high-factor, broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.
Hydrate: Keep your skin moisturized with non-comedogenic products.
Avoid harsh sun: Schedule treatments when you’re not planning beach holidays or prolonged sun exposure.
Gentle cleansing: Use mild products and avoid exfoliation for a few days post-treatment.
Our team will provide tailored aftercare instructions to protect your skin and maintain results.
When to Expect Results
While many clients notice an improvement after just one session, optimal results often require multiple treatments spaced several weeks apart. With patience and consistency, smoother, brighter skin is well within reach—just in time to enjoy the rest of summer.
