Acne Scars & Other Scars
If acne scars or other scars are affecting your confidence, you’re not alone. At Dr. David Jayne’s clinic in Edmond, Oklahoma, we offer personalized scar-revision plans designed to improve texture, soften the look of scars, and support healthier-looking skin— with a refined, comfort-first experience.
The best approach depends on your scar type (pitted, raised, or discoloration) and your skin’s response. Your visit begins with a clear, physician-led plan tailored to your goals.
Note: Scar improvement is gradual and results vary. The goal is a visible improvement in texture and appearance—not perfection.
Why acne scars form
Acne scars can develop when deeper inflammation affects collagen during healing. As the skin repairs itself, it may produce too little or too much collagen—leading to depressions (pits) or raised areas. Discoloration can also remain after acne clears.
The most effective treatments are chosen based on scar pattern, depth, and skin type—often using a combination approach for the best result.
Common acne scar types
- Ice-pick scarsNarrow, deeper pits that can require targeted techniques.
- Boxcar scarsBroader, defined edges; often responds well to resurfacing + collagen support.
- Rolling scarsWave-like texture from tethered tissue; may benefit from release techniques + collagen building.
- Raised scarsHypertrophic/keloid tendencies require a different strategy than pitted scars.
- Post-acne marksDiscoloration/uneven tone that can improve with targeted skin plans.

A customized plan may include one or more approaches
Scar revision is rarely “one-size-fits-all.” Your plan may use collagen-building, resurfacing, and targeted techniques based on scar pattern. During your consultation, we’ll recommend what best matches your goals and skin needs.
Options like microneedling (and similar techniques) can support texture improvement by encouraging collagen remodeling over time.
Some patients benefit from resurfacing strategies to refine texture and soften edges of scars—planned carefully for your skin type.
Deeper or tethered scars may require targeted approaches and staged improvements rather than a single session.
Realistic expectations
Most acne scar treatments improve scars—they don’t erase them. Improvements are typically gradual across weeks to months as collagen remodels. The best plans are consistent, staged, and matched to your scar pattern.
