Benefits of Treating Together 
Benefits of Treating Acne & Scars Together
Most clinics clear your acne first, then send you elsewhere for the scars it left behind — starting your history over with a new doctor. We do both in the same room, on the same timeline.
No Referral
No Restart
01
No Gap in Treatment
No gap between clearing acne and fixing what it left behind — scar treatment starts as soon as it's safe to, not after a separate referral.
02
One Diagnostic History
Your dermatologist already knows your acne type and skin behaviour before recommending a scar procedure — no starting over.
03
Combination Plans, Not Single Procedures
Most real scarring needs 2-3 techniques together — TCA CROSS for icepick scars, microneedling for rolling scars — which is hard to coordinate across different providers.
04
Lower Risk of Re-Scarring
Active acne is monitored throughout your scar-treatment course, not ignored — so the treatment doesn't create the next scar.
One appointment. Both problems on the table.
Bring your acne and your scars to the same consultation — no separate referral needed.
One Category, Two Concerns Get Your Skin Assessed
Understanding Acne & Scars & Blemishes?
Acne and its scars are two different problems that need two different kinds of treatment — which is exactly why we group them together rather than treat them as separate, disconnected concerns.
Active acne is about calming what's happening now. Scarring is about repairing what's already happened.

IcepickBoxcarRollingKeloidPost-Acne Marks
Treating only one side usually leaves patients frustrated — clear skin that's still textured, or scar treatment that keeps getting undone by new breakouts. At LaShine, every acne patient is assessed for both sides from day one, so your plan accounts for where your skin is now and where it's likely headed.

Not sure which one you have?
A dermatologist identifies your concern before choosing any treatment or procedure. The assessment looks at:
- Acne activity
- Scar pattern
- Skin characteristics
Every Stage, Every You
Who Is It Suitable For?
Whether you're dealing with breakouts now, the scars they left behind, or both — this is built for wherever your skin is today.
Assessed. Treated. Followed Through.
Whether your main concern is active acne, the scars it left behind, or a treatment elsewhere that didn't hold – there's a plan for you here.
Active Breakouts
Teenage, hormonal, cystic, adult, or back acne
Visible Scarring
Pitting, marks, or texture left behind by past acne

What to Expect 
Results Take Time. Downtime Rarely Does.
Acne and scarring heal on different clocks. Here’s what a realistic timeline actually looks like — and why yours will be discussed, not guessed at.
Gradual by design, not overnight.
01
Active Acne Timeline
Visible calming within 3–4 weeks, with fuller control typically reached over
02
Scar Treatment Timeline
Most techniques need a course of 3–6 sessions, with visible texture improvement building over 3–6 months as collagen remodels underneath.
03
Downtime, Treatment by Treatment
Ranges from none — consultations, PDRN — to a few days of redness or peeling for laser and TCA CROSS. Specifics are covered on each treatment page. PRF.
04
One Combined Timeline, Not a Generic Number
Because this category spans multiple techniques, your consultation gives you a realistic combined timeline built around your actual skin — not a one-size estimate.
Want Your Actual Timeline?
Bring your skin in and we'll map a realistic, combined timeline — not a generic estimate.
Aftercare Guidance 
Protect the Progress You've Already Made.
Combination treatment plans work because they're followed between visits, not just during them. A few rules keep your skin on track.
Good habits now, clearer skin ahead.
01
Sun Protection Is Non-Negotiable
This applies across every treatment in this category — unprotected skin re-pigments easily after any procedure here.
02
Don't Stack Treatments Yourself
Combination plans are sequenced deliberately by your dermatologist — not something to combine or reorder on your own between visits.
03
Hands Off Healing Skin
Avoid picking at active acne or a healing scar-treatment site — this is the single biggest cause of preventable new scarring.
04
Keep to Your Review Schedule
Acne and scar plans are adjusted based on how your skin actually responds — skipped reviews mean a plan built on old information.

Acne scarring is rarely one problem — an icepick scar and a rolling scar sitting an inch apart genuinely need different tools. I build each plan around the actual mix of scars a patient has, not a fixed package.

Treatment timing depends on the severity of active acne, scar type, and individual skin condition. A dermatologist may recommend controlling active breakouts before starting certain scar procedures, as ongoing inflammation can affect treatment planning. Your dermatologist can assess your skin and advise when to begin treatment.
No — most patients need 2-3 specific treatments based on their exact scar types and acne history, not the entire list. Your consultation narrows this down.
Treatment selection depends on your scar type, depth, skin condition, and medical history. TCA CROSS may be considered for certain icepick scars, while subcision may be considered for selected tethered rolling scars. Laser or microneedling may be discussed for some boxcar and textural scars. A dermatologist can assess your skin and explain the potential benefits and risks of each option.
Active acne control usually takes 8-12 weeks; scar correction is a longer-term process, often 3-6 months for visible results, sometimes longer for deeper scarring.
Yes — treating active acne early, especially cystic acne, and avoiding picking at breakouts are the two biggest factors within your control.
