Scars

Visible scars can leave a lasting impact on your appearance and your confidence. Whether from acne, injury, or surgery, scars are a natural part of the healing process, but that doesn’t mean you have to live with them forever. At BioSpa in Newport Beach and serving patients throughout Orange County, we offer advanced, non-surgical treatments to visibly soften the look of scars and reveal smoother, healthier-looking skin.

What Causes Scarring?

Scars form when the skin heals after an injury, break, or inflammatory condition. The body produces collagen to repair the damage, but sometimes it produces too much or too little, resulting in a scar that is raised, depressed, or discolored. Common causes of scarring include:

• Acne Scars: Deep breakouts or cystic acne can damage skin tissue and lead to pitted or raised marks.
• Surgical Scars: Even expertly performed procedures can leave behind visible lines as the skin heals.
• Trauma or Injury: Cuts, scrapes, and burns may result in permanent scarring if deeper layers of skin are affected.
• Stretch Marks: While technically a form of scarring, stretch marks can appear when skin stretches too quickly.

Types of Scars We Treat

At BioSpa, we treat a variety of scar types, including:

• Atrophic Scars (sunken or pitted)
• Hypertrophic Scars (raised and thick)
• Post-Acne Marks
• Stretch Marks
• Surgical Scars

How Are Scars Treated?

Our expert team offers a range of effective, non-surgical solutions to reduce the appearance of scars. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin and recommend a personalized treatment plan tailored to your skin type and the nature of your scarring. Some of the advanced treatment options we may recommend include:

Clear + Brilliant® Touch Laser

This next-generation resurfacing laser gently renews skin from the inside out. Clear + Brilliant is a long-time favorite for reducing the appearance of mild to moderate scars by stimulating collagen production and evening out skin texture.

Nordlys Ellipse® IPL

For red or pigmented scars, Nordlys IPL can target discoloration and improve overall skin clarity. IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light and although it may appear similar to a laser device, it treats skin differently. This treatment uses selective light energy to fade scar coloration and promote more even tone.

RF Microneedling

Radiofrequency microneedling combines the collagen-inducing power of microneedling with radiofrequency energy to tighten, resurface, and remodel scarred skin. RF microneedling is often ideal for acne scars and stretch marks.

Pen Microneedling

This minimally invasive treatment uses a handheld device that looks similar to a pen to create tiny micro-injuries that stimulate natural skin healing. Over time, this can smooth out uneven texture and reduce scar visibility.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels can be an effective treatment for improving the appearance of acne scars, especially shallow atrophic scars. By gently exfoliating the skin and promoting collagen renewal, they can help diminish scar visibility and improve overall skin smoothness.
