Thank you for your question and photos. Treatment of acne scars takes a multi-modal approach with skincare, combination of filler and platelet rich plasma injections and combination of resurfacing procedures and topical platelet rich plasma . As far as the resurfacing procedure chosen, there is a spectrum of various devices that can be used. There are devices that are more forgiving for darker skin tone like Vivace. And there are devices that have significantly less downtime if any like Vivace. Having said that, if it is important to you not to have social downtime, then you can’t go wrong with choosing Vivace RF Microneedling for a series of gradual improvements Vivace is a very elegant treatment that has minimal to no downtime and discomfort, and delivers great results. It is great for the treating acne scars. The treatment is approximately 45-60 minutes for the face. Treatments are performed every 2 weeks. In my practice, I have customized Vivace Experience treatments for my clients to enhance their experience. The special customizations include using a special numbing cream with ingredients that do not cause sensitivity and inflammation, adding PRP topically and via injection afterwards, and special post care products that heal the skin rapidly.

We have seen great results for acne scars using Vivace RF Microneedling and PRP. Multiple sessions are required and exfoliation between sessions might help your Vivace sessions to be more effective. You should have a consultation with a provider of Vivace to learn more about your options. You may want to investigave Bellafill injections for acne also.
