Nordlys Ellipse Frax 1550 Laser
Back acne scar laser treatment is best suited for shallow to medium-depth acne scars, such as boxcar scars, rolling scars and icepick scars. For deeper scarring, subcision surgery may be a more appropriate treatment option.
PRP (platelet rich plasma)
PRP works best when combined with other therapies such as microneedling. It involves concentrated healing factors extracted from your own blood, injected to boost the body’s production of collagen to improve the appearance of back acne scars.
Selective Waveband (SWT®) IPL
Our advanced IPL system works to improve skin tone and reduce the appearance of red and brown hyperpigmented back acne scars by targeting both red and brown pigments to produce a more even tone to discolored skin.
Dermal fillers
Dermal fillers restore the volume loss characteristic of deep acne scars. Particularly after undergoing subcision scar removal, fillers can be injected to further smooth any dimpling on the skin’s surface.

Subcision Scar Revision
Chemical skin peels have been the gold standard for a variety of acne scars for many decades. Peels are very useful for resurfacing both the top and deeper layers of skin to minimize both pitted and hyperpigmented acne scars.
Controlling acne breakouts on the back
If you currently have an active acne breakout on your back, we will work to help you treat the problem before a back acne scar removal treatment. Live cystic acne harbors an underlying bacterial infection that can be spread to other areas and result in serious complications.
As your cystic acne heals it poses the possibility of creating additional acne scars and marks. We will address active acne breakouts first, and once resolved, we can get to work smoothing away the scars with one of our advanced treatments.
What causes back acne?
Back acne breakouts are triggered by excess oil, sebum, and the accumulation of dead skin cells inside your pores. Once the pores become blocked, harmless bacteria begin to proliferate in the sebaceous glands, causing an inflammatory response. This leads to the red pustules of acne appearing on the back or other area of the face or body.
The most common contributing factor to back pimples is related to hygiene issues, such as not showering immediately after a workout, using irritating skin products, or wearing clothing that prevents your skin from breathing.
In other cases, back acne may be caused by an underlying health condition such as PCOS, food allergies or a hormonal imbalance. An accurate diagnosis by a qualified medical professional will help you determine the cause of your back acne and the appropriate treatment options.
