WHY DOES SAGGING SKIN HAPPEN?
Understanding Collagen Damage After Acne
When a breakout causes deeper inflammation, the skin may not rebuild collagen evenly as it heals. This can leave depressions, rough texture, or visible irregularities behind.
That is why your acne can be gone while the texture it left behind remains visible for months or even years.
“Acne scars form below the surface, which is why skincare alone may not fully improve deeper texture changes.”
Collagen damage may lead to:
- Pitted scars
- Indented skin
- Uneven texture
- Roughness
- Enlarged-looking pores
- Irregular skin surface
Scarring may be influenced by:
- Severe breakouts
- Deep inflammation
- Picking or squeezing
- Delayed acne care
- Genetics
- Individual healing response
TREATMENTS FOR ACNE SCARS
Treatments Based on Your Scar Type & Skin Texture
Acne scars are not all the same. We look at scar depth, texture, pores, redness, and overall skin quality before recommending the most appropriate approach.

Supports deeper collagen remodeling to improve pitted acne scars, uneven texture, and enlarged pores.
02.
Exion RF Clear
Supports clearer, more even-looking skin when acne-related redness, inflammation, and skin irregularities are also present.
When Should You Treat ACNE SCARS?
You Do Not Have to Keep Covering the Texture
You may first consider treatment when scars become more noticeable in side lighting, makeup no longer sits smoothly, or your skin still looks uneven even though active acne has improved.
Treating the concern based on the type and depth of scarring can help support gradual collagen remodeling and smoother-looking skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Acne Scar Treatments In NYC
Acne scars may form when deeper inflammation damages the skin and collagen does not rebuild evenly during the healing process.
Post-acne redness or dark marks may gradually fade, but deeper pitted or indented scars often remain because they involve structural changes within the skin
There is no single treatment that is best for every scar. The appropriate approach depends on scar type, depth, skin texture, pores, redness, and your individual skin response.
RF microneedling may help support collagen remodeling and improve the appearance of pitted scars, uneven texture, and enlarged pores over time.
Acne scars usually involve changes in skin texture, such as depressions or indentations. Post-acne marks are changes in color, including lingering redness or darker areas after a breakout.
Treatments that support collagen remodeling and skin texture may also help reduce the visible appearance of enlarged pores in appropriate patients.
The number of sessions varies depending on scar type, depth, skin condition, selected treatment, and individual response.
Downtime depends on the treatment selected. RF microneedling may cause temporary redness or sensitivity, while other approaches may involve less recovery.
Acne scar improvement is usually gradual because collagen remodeling takes time. Your expected timeline depends on the type of scarring and treatment plan.

Since I arrived in the United States and met Dr. Olga for cosmetic procedures, I liked her so much that she remains my favorite doctor while I'm here in New York City.
