Acne Scars Treatment in Ogden, UT
Ice pick, boxcar, and rolling scars are the most common forms of acne scarring. Your skin looks uneven, and makeup often settles into these scars, which makes them even more noticeable.
Royale Aesthetics & Beauty Med Spa in Ogden, Utah, offers minimally invasive treatments for those stubborn scars. Our primary treatments include CO2 Laser, Microneedling, RF Microneedling, and Quantum RF. In addition to these procedures, we sometimes recommend PRP, PRF, or Exosomes to enhance healing and support regenerative processes. For depressed (atrophic) scars, we use dermal fillers like Radiesse.
IPL Photofacial is also used to treat red or brown marks from PIH or PIE. Sculptra is sometimes used to stimulate collagen in scars. Our aesthetic physician, Dr. Charles Ivester, performs these procedures himself. Call us today to book your appointment.

Acne Scars Treatment Laser Resurfacing and IPL
The CO2 laser procedure resurfaces the skin and removes the damaged outer layers. It also improves collagen production, which smooths pits and improves overall skin texture. CO2 laser treatment improves rolling scars, boxcar scars, and mild ice pick scars. Sometimes ice-pick scars also require a combination treatment approach.
Royale Aesthetics and Beauty Med Spa offers IPL Photofacial to treat the brown and red spots left behind by acne. They are also known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and post-inflammatory erythema (PIE). IPL Photofacial does not treat acne scars, it only helps reduce pigmentation by acne.
Note: Active acne should be controlled before treating scars.
How Do RF Treatments Treat Acne Scars?
We offer RF Microneedling and Quantum RF to treat deeper acne scars and tighten your skin. The tiny needles create small channels so that the heat energy can reach the deeper layers of the skin. This then smooths the scars and also stimulates collagen to tighten the skin.
Most patients feel heat, tingling, or a mild stinging sensation during treatment. To improve comfort, we first apply a professional numbing cream before starting the procedure. CO2 laser may feel more intense than RF microneedling, but the discomfort is temporary and manageable.
Downtime And Recovery
Recovery time depends on the treatment used. For example, RF microneedling usually causes 1 to 3 days of redness, while CO2 laser may require 7 to 10 days of visible healing. Most patients resume daily activities within a few days, although saunas, gym, and makeup may need to be avoided for a short period.
Temporary redness, slight swelling, and mild irritation are common after treatment. Some patients may also notice light peeling, flaking, or a rough texture as the skin heals. In certain cases, minor breakouts or darkening of spots can occur, but these effects improve as the skin recovers.
Proper aftercare is important for good results. You will need to use gentle skincare, avoid direct sun exposure, and apply sunscreen regularly. We also guide you about the right time to resume products such as retinoids or exfoliants.
Volume Restoration Treatments for Depressed Acne Scars
Our board-certified M.D, Charles Ivester, often recommends dermal fillers if you have depressed (atrophic) acne scars. Radiesse fillers restore lost volume and smooth your skin. It fills all those shallow depressions of rolling scars and box-like indentations of boxcar scars.
Apart from this, we also offer supportive treatments like PRP/ PRF and Exosome Therapy with microneedling. These treatments support the healing and regeneration process for better results.
Acne Scar Treatments for Oily And Dry Skin
Oily skin is thicker and stronger, but you can still have dark spots and breakouts after acne. We offer CO2 laser resurfacing, RF microneedling, and IPL photofacial to treat these scars and spots. These are great for thicker skin because this skin type can handle strong ablative treatments.
On the other hand, dry skin is usually thinner and more sensitive compared to the oily skin. It also lacks sufficient natural oils, so we provide gentle treatments that don’t damage the surface. Our aesthetician, Dr. Charles Ivester, recommends Radiesse fillers, Sculptra, RF microneedling, and exosome therapy for dry skin.
Except for RF Microneedling (which can cause temporary dryness), other methods do not cause extra dryness or irritation.
The CO2 laser is harsh for dry skin, as it can cause irritation, dryness, and a sandpaper-like texture after treatment. Based on this evaluation, we recommend the most suitable treatment for your skin.
Many patients worry about worsening of their skin. When performed by a skilled provider, these treatments are designed to improve skin texture safely. We carefully adjust the settings based on your skin type to reduce the risk of burns or irritation issues.
How Long Do Acne Scar Treatment Results Last?
Longeivity of results vary widely. Our primary treatments may last from 1 year to 10 years. Results longer when supported by good skincare and regular sun protection. However, new breakouts can still result in additional scarring. That’s why some patients choose maintenance sessions to keep their skin smooth over time.
