Acne Scar Bootcamp
Intensive program to dramatically reduce acne scars and restore smooth, even skin
Intensive program to dramatically reduce acne scars and restore smooth, even skin
The Acne Scar Bootcamp is our most aggressive scar treatment program, combining multiple advanced technologies to deliver maximum improvement in acne scarring. This 16-week intensive protocol pairs microneedling with ResurFX™ laser resurfacing to rebuild collagen and smooth scarred skin.
Acne scars are notoriously difficult to treat, which is why we take a multi-modal approach. Microneedling and laser resurfacing rebuild collagen at different depths, so together they improve texture far more than either one alone.

Your journey to smooth skin starts here. Here is why we built a bootcamp just for acne scars, how it works and how it fits with our other programs.
Acne scarring is a common complication of acne and can have a major impact on self-image and self-confidence. One recent study even found a link between acne scarring and avoidant social behaviors (aka, self-isolation).
This is why our team of experts created the Acne Scar Bootcamp. It's a targeted, four-month bootcamp consisting of both in-office treatments and at-home products, and it's specifically designed to drastically improve your acne scars.
The bootcamp begins with an in-person consultation with our owner and medical director, Dr. Lori Aliksanian. She will determine which treatment options are best suited to your specific skin and needs, and our team of skin care experts will curate a custom treatment plan from there.
Your in-office treatments include microneedling, ResurFX™ laser resurfacing and the medical-grade SaltFacial™, scheduled across the program. Learn more about microneedling and see ResurFX™ before and after photos.
We will also send you home with at-home, medical-grade skin care products designed to complement your in-office treatments and enhance your results. Your full-size home care (listed above) is included in the plan.

Yes! While we can't make scars disappear completely, most patients see 50-80% improvement with the Bootcamp. Deep scars become shallower, texture smooths out, and overall skin appearance dramatically improves. Results are life-changing for many patients.
Microneedling alone provides modest improvement. The Bootcamp pairs two microneedling sessions with three ResurFX™ laser resurfacing treatments and a SaltFacial™, plus medical-grade home care, so collagen is rebuilt at more than one depth. This multi-modal approach delivers dramatically better results.
The Acne Scar Bootcamp is a four- to five-month process, but clients will begin to see changes in the texture of their skin as early as their second month. We recommend clients begin treatment as early as possible in order to achieve their final results in the shortest amount of time.
Consistent use of your at-home skin care products is critical to the success of the bootcamp. The medical-grade skin care included in your customized plan will increase cell turnover and speed up recovery as we work towards retexturing and rebalancing your skin. Not only will commitment to your at-home routine yield faster and better results, but you will have healthier, more balanced skin even after completion of the bootcamp.
Yes. The Acne Scar Bootcamp is $2,700, and it costs less because your personalized, medical-grade at-home skin care is included.
Expect 3-5 days of redness and peeling after each treatment. Plan to avoid major events for about a week after each session. The results are worth the temporary downtime!
Deep, narrow ice pick scars often respond best to TCA CROSS, which isn't part of the Bootcamp package but can be added alongside it. We'll tell you at your first visit whether you'd benefit.
Yes! Active acne must be controlled before treating scars. If you still have breakouts, we recommend starting with our Acne Bootcamp first, then transitioning to the Scar Bootcamp once your skin is clear.
Yes, but we take extra precautions to prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. We may adjust treatment intensity and use specific protocols for darker skin. Our providers have extensive experience treating all skin types safely.
Results are permanent! Once scars are filled and smoothed, they don't return. However, new acne can create new scars, so maintaining clear skin is important. The collagen stimulation from treatments continues improving skin for 6-12 months after the Bootcamp ends.
