Scars
Scars tell a story—but they don’t have to define your skin.
At Oak Skin, we understand that scars can impact both the appearance of your skin and how you feel in it. Whether your scars are from acne, surgery, injury, or inflammation, our goal is to help soften their appearance, improve texture, and support long-term skin regeneration using evidence-based, non-invasive treatments.
Every scar is unique. That’s why we focus on customized treatment plans that stimulate your skin’s natural healing response while respecting its integrity.
What Are Scars?
Scars form as part of the body’s natural healing process after injury or inflammation. When the deeper layers of skin are damaged, collagen production can become uneven—leading to visible changes in texture, tone, or depth.
Common types of scars we treat include:
Acne scars (atrophic, rolling, boxcar)
Post-surgical scars
Injury or trauma-related scars
Post-inflammatory scarring
Textural irregularities from past skin conditions
Our Approach to Scar Treatment at Oak Skin
Scar revision isn’t about erasing—it’s about remodelling, resurfacing, and restoring balance within the skin. At Oak Skin, we combine advanced technology with medical-grade skincare and regenerative techniques to:
Stimulate collagen and elastin production
Improve skin texture and smoothness
Reduce redness and discolouration
Support long-term skin renewal
Treatments That Help Improve Scars
At Oak Skin & Laser, we blend cutting-edge therapies with holistic care to create a personalized plan for your skin:
-
Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to trigger collagen and elastin production. This process helps remodel scar tissue, improve texture, and smooth uneven skin over time.
Best for:
Acne scars
Surgical scars
Texture irregularities
-
Aerolase laser treatments gently heat the skin to stimulate collagen, reduce redness, and improve skin tone without damaging the surface. It’s safe for all skin types and works beautifully alongside microneedling protocols.
Best for:
Red or pigmented scars
Post-inflammatory scarring
Sensitive or darker skin tones
FAQs
What is the best treatment for acne scars?
1
The best treatment for acne scars depends on the type of scarring (ice pick, boxcar, rolling, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation), your skin tone, and overall skin health. At Oak Integrative, we use advanced options such as Aerolase® laser therapy and customized skin protocols to support collagen remodeling and improve skin texture. A personalized consultation is essential to determine the safest and most effective approach for your skin.
Can laser treatment improve acne scars?
2
Yes, laser treatment can help improve the appearance of acne scars by stimulating collagen production and resurfacing uneven texture. Aerolase® laser is designed to deliver controlled energy into the skin with minimal downtime, making it suitable for a wide range of skin tones. Results develop gradually over a series of treatments as collagen remodels and skin texture becomes smoother.
How many treatments are needed for scar reduction?
3
Most patients require a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart to see optimal improvement. The exact number depends on the depth, age, and type of scarring. While scars cannot usually be completely erased, many people experience significant improvement in texture, tone, and overall skin clarity with consistent treatment.

Is laser scar treatment safe for darker skin tones?
4
Do you replace my dermatologist?
Safety depends on the type of laser used. Some lasers carry higher risks of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in darker skin tones. Aerolase® is considered safe for all skin tones because it uses controlled energy delivery that minimizes excess heat and reduces the risk of pigment disruption. A professional assessment ensures the safest treatment plan.
Yes, even older scars can improve with the right treatment strategy. While newer scars may respond more quickly, collagen remodeling can still occur in mature scars with advanced therapies such as laser treatment. Treatment plans are customized based on scar type, skin condition, and desired outcomes.
