Acne Scar Treatments in Chicago, IL

Acne breakouts may fade, but the marks they leave behind can feel like a constant reminder. For many people, acne scars affect not just the texture of their skin but also their self-confidence. Drugstore creams, at-home remedies, and even professional facials often fall short when it comes to reducing deep scars. That’s where advanced skin treatments can make a difference.

At Therahaus Wellness Med Spa in Chicago, we specialize in helping clients smooth acne scars and restore healthier, more radiant skin. Led by Dr. Angeline Beltsos, a double-board-certified physician with over three decades of medical experience, our team offers customized, results-driven care to help you feel comfortable and confident again.

What Are Acne Scars?

Acne scars form when inflammation from pimples or cysts damages the skin and underlying tissue. The healing process can result in uneven texture, indentations, or discoloration. The main types of acne scars include:

Ice pick scars

Deep, narrow indentations that resemble tiny holes in the skin.

Boxcar scars

Wider, box-shaped depressions with well-defined edges.

Rolling scars

Wavy depressions that create an uneven appearance.

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation

Dark or red spots left behind once active acne clears.

While some scars may fade over time, others can persist for years without professional intervention.

Treatments for Acne Scars

Because every person’s skin is unique, acne scar treatment works best when tailored to the type of scars and the individual’s goals. At Therahaus Wellness Med Spa, we offer a variety of options that may be used alone or in combination for optimal results:

Chemical Peels

Exfoliate the outer layers of skin to fade discoloration and improve texture. Different peel strengths can be selected based on your skin type and desired outcome.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Utilizes targeted laser energy to remove damaged skin cells, promoting the formation of new, smoother skin.

PRP Injections

Platelet-rich plasma taken from your own blood is injected to boost healing, reduce inflammation, and rejuvenate the skin naturally.

Combination Approaches

Many clients achieve the best results when treatments are combined, such as pairing microneedling with PRP or alternating chemical peels with laser therapy.

Your provider will help determine the most effective plan for your skin during your consultation.

What to Expect from Treatment

Most acne scar treatments are performed in-office and take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the approach. Some options, such as chemical peels or microneedling, may cause mild redness or swelling for a few days, while laser resurfacing can require a slightly longer recovery period. PRP injections typically involve minimal downtime.

Results vary depending on the treatment chosen. Some clients notice improvement after just one session, while others benefit most from a series of treatments spaced weeks apart. Over time, as new collagen develops, the skin’s surface becomes smoother and scars are less noticeable.
