The nature of scarring
How scarring works?
Modern medical aesthetics can soften, refine, and resurface most scars when the right combination of technologies is applied with precision.
01
Damage Goes Deep
When inflammation, a deep cyst, surgery, or rapid stretching reaches the dermis, the skin's structural layer is compromised and cannot regenerate identically.
02
Healing Misfires
Your body rushes collagen to seal the wound. Too little produces a sunken atrophic scar. Too much creates a raised hypertrophic or keloid scar.
03
Texture Sets In
As the new tissue matures, fibres lock into place over months. Ice pick, boxcar, rolling, and stretch mark scars become the skin's new permanent texture.

Facts about Scarring
Did you know this about scarring?
Multiple Types
Atrophic, hypertrophic, keloid, and stretch mark scars each respond to different combinations of treatment.
Tone Sensitive
Deeper skin tones can develop pigmentation alongside scarring, requiring careful, gentle technology selection.
Early Action
Scars are easiest to soften within the first year. Mature scars still respond, but treatment plans tend to be longer.
Combo Wins
One treatment rarely resolves scars. Combining microneedling, lasers, and resurfacing produces the most visible change.

Science of scarring
Acne Scar Treatment
Acne scars are one of the most common reasons clients book consultations at our Vancouver clinic. Years of inflamed acne, hormonal breakouts, or aggressive picking can leave behind ice pick craters, boxcar indents, rolling depressions, and uneven texture that no topical product can resurface. Our approach combines clinical microneedling, fractional laser resurfacing with the GentleMax Pro and Aerolase, and exosome or PDRN regenerative therapy to remodel collagen at the dermal level. Each protocol is built around your specific scar pattern, skin tone, sensitivity, and lifestyle. We are honest about what is achievable and how many sessions it will likely take, because clarity is what makes the journey worth committing to. The result is smoother, more reflective skin that takes makeup better, photographs cleaner, and quietly restores the confidence that scarring tends to chip away at.

Other Scar Types
Not every scar comes from acne. Chicken pox craters, surgical lines, accidental cuts, keloid raises, and stretch marks across the abdomen, hips, or arms all share the same underlying biology. The dermis was disrupted, and the body rebuilt it imperfectly. At our Vancouver medspa, we treat the full spectrum of permanent marks using technologies matched to scar age, depth, and skin tone. Hypertrophic and keloid scars often need calming protocols and careful laser selection to avoid stimulating more growth. Stretch marks respond best to combined microneedling and laser, which encourages new collagen alignment in the stretched zones. Older chicken pox scars, rough or cratered skin, and depressed marks benefit from resurfacing layered with growth factor and exosome therapy. Whatever the origin, our team builds a plan that respects your skin's history and works toward visible, measurable refinement.
