at a Glance

With the number of different acne scar treatments we offer at NOVA Concierge Medicine & Aesthetics, we can help you target your acne scars directly and achieve the smoother and more flawless skin you’re looking for. This includes microneedling, laser therapy, and injectables.

Common Concerns:

Acne Scars

Redness

Hyperpigmentation

Uneven Skin Texture

Enlarged Pores

Since opening our aesthetic practice, we have successfully improved acne scars, post-acne pigmentation, uneven skin texture, and enlarged pores for patients across Northern Virginia and the DMV. Because no two acne scars are the same, we tailor treatment plans based on scar type, skin tone, lifestyle, and downtime preferences.

What is Acne Scar Treatment?

Acne scar treatment refers to a range of medical and cosmetic procedures designed to reduce or eliminate the marks left behind after acne lesions heal. These scars can appear as dark spots, shallow depressions, or raised bumps, and treatment depends on the type and severity. Common options include topical treatments like retinoids, vitamin C serums, and chemical exfoliants, and dermatological procedures like chemical peels, microneedling, and laser resurfacing.

Most treatments work by stimulating collagen production, evening out skin tone, or physically removing damaged skin layers to reveal smoother skin underneath.

What Does Acne Scar Treatment Address?

We offer both minimal-downtime treatments and more intensive resurfacing procedures to address:

  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (brown acne marks)
  • Post-inflammatory erythema (red acne marks)
  • Ice pick scars
  • Boxcar scars
  • Rolling acne scars
  • Textural irregularities and enlarged pores

Acne Scar Treatments We Offer

Red Acne Scars (Post-Inflammatory Erythema)

Red acne scars appear as lingering redness after acne heals and respond well to vascular-targeting and collagen-stimulating therapies.
Our treatments include:

  • BBL / IPL photofacials for redness and inflammation
  • Moxi laser for tone and texture refinement
  • TRIBRID laser technology to address redness and overall skin quality
  • Medical-grade retinoids and professional skincare regimens

Brown Acne Scars (Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation)

Brown acne marks are pigment-based and common in medium to deeper skin tones.
Our treatments include:

  • Medical-grade brightening regimens (hydroquinone alternatives, azelaic acid, tranexamic acid, kojic acid, mandelic acid, latic acid, glycolic acid, etc)
  • Customized chemical peels
  • Moxi laser for pigmentation and texture
  • TRIBRID laser for pigment correction and resurfacing
  • Advanced skincare protocols for melasma-prone skin

Ice Pick Acne Scars

Ice pick scars are deep, narrow scars that require aggressive collagen remodeling.
Our treatments include:

  • ProFractional laser resurfacing for deeper scar remodeling
  • Halo hybrid fractional laser for combined superficial and deep resurfacing
  • RF microneedling for dermal remodeling
  • PRP / PRF for regenerative healing
  • Combination protocols for more severe scarring

Rolling Acne Scars

Rolling scars create uneven texture due to fibrotic tethering beneath the skin.
Our treatments include:

  • Subcision (scar release)
  • RF microneedling
  • PRP / PRF regenerative therapy
  • ProFractional laser resurfacing for collagen remodeling
  • Halo laser resurfacing for texture and tone improvement
  • Biostimulatory injectables when appropriate

BOXCAR ACNE SCARS

Boxcar scars have defined edges and typically respond best to fractional resurfacing combined with collagen induction.
Our treatments include:

  • ProFractional laser resurfacing for moderate to severe boxcar scars
  • Halo hybrid fractional laser for overall texture improvement
  • RF microneedling
  • TRIBRID laser for combined pigment, redness, and texture correction
  • Regenerative therapies for collagen induction

Cost & Recovery for Acne Scar Treatments in Fairfax, VA

The cost of acne scar treatment in Fairfax, VA varies depending on:

  • The type and severity of scarring
  • The number of sessions required
  • The combination of technologies used (ProFractional, Halo, TRIBRID, RF microneedling, PRP/PRF)
  • Downtime preferences

Some treatments, such as Moxi laser, RF microneedling, and light chemical peels, have minimal downtime, while more intensive resurfacing treatments like ProFractional laser and Halo laser resurfacing may involve several days of recovery.

Most acne scar correction plans involve a series of treatments, and pricing typically ranges from a few hundred dollars per session for mild resurfacing treatments to several thousand dollars for comprehensive laser resurfacing packages, depending on scar severity and goals.

I can’t say enough positive things about Dr. Zaidi - she is quite simply exactly what the industry has been missing. Her expertise, eye for detail, & genuine warmth put any anxieties to rest. You will be thrilled with your results!
– Verified Patient
Flew in from Chicago to have this doctor assess and treat my lax and old skin! Dr. Zaidi was most definitely worth the trip! She was so caring, willing to listen so rare to find in a doctor. She gave me all the options and prices before we started anything and wasn't pushy. She took time to understand my face and my needs.
– Verified Patient
Came here because they just opened up in the same building. I’m so happy, a lot of my clients I sent over also love Dr Z. She is the kindest person I have met and my clients love her so much. She is so knowledgeable on everything and even more. I trust only Dr Z for all my needs.
– Verified Patient
I got some fillers and Botulinum Toxin but I didn’t know what I needed when I went in but she was thorough and explained the anatomy, and why I needed what. She also kept telling me to be real and that miracles don’t happen after one visit. I’ll definitely be back she’s worth it. Also reasonable priced compared to other areas.
– Verified Patient
After waiting years to find a reputable and quality service for laser hair removal, I was so pleased to have found Dr. Zaidi’s services. She did an amazing job with my treatment. It was painless, clean & efficient. The office ambiance is so eloquent, the equipment is top notch. You really are getting a luxury experience from check in, to check out. Thank you, and can’t wait for my next appt! I highly recommended checking this secret gem out for your medical and/or aesthetic needs.
– Verified Patient
I’ve been very happy with all the procedures I have received from Dr. Zaidi. She and her staff are professional and super friendly. Dr. Zaidi takes the time to explain everything and doesn’t pressure me to do something she may suggest. The new office is exquisite and I like going there for my visits.
– Verified Patient
I met Dr. Zaidi through a friend whose recommendations I trust. Never thought I’d be a Botulinum Toxin / filler “girl”, and explained all my concerns about looking unnatural. She understood and reassured me, so I decided to take the plunge. I’m so glad I did!
– Verified Patient
The treatments were exactly what I was looking for, natural but improved. Subtle, yet such a difference!! I wish I had met her years ago. I’ve already referred a friend who loves her and the treatments as well. I’m back for a halo treatment and RF micro needling to address my neck and décolleté area, damaged from decades of sun exposure. I have every confidence in her ability to help me feel more confident about myself.
