The Ultimate Guide to Acne and Scar Treatments in Boerne

Discover How Chemical Peels, Laser Resurfacing, and More Can Transform Your Skin

Struggling with persistent acne or the lingering scars it leaves behind? At Gilded Palm Cosmetic Medicine and Spa in Boerne, we offer advanced solutions that go beyond topical products. Whether you’re dealing with active breakouts, pigmentation, or textural scarring, our expertly curated acne and scar treatments can dramatically improve your skin’s clarity and confidence.

Understanding Acne and Acne Scars

Acne is more than just a teenage problem. Hormones, genetics, stress, and lifestyle can all contribute to breakouts at any age. Once acne clears, many are left with frustrating scars—ranging from discoloration to deep pitted marks—that don’t fade on their own.

That’s where targeted aesthetic treatments come in. Let’s explore the most effective options available right here in Boerne.

Chemical Peels for Acne and Pigmentation

Chemical peels are a time-tested treatment that exfoliates the skin, unclogs pores, and fades discoloration. At Gilded Palm, we offer medical-grade peels designed for both active acne and post-acne marks.

• ‍How They Work:
  
  • Peels use safe acids to slough off dead skin cells, reduce oil production, and stimulate cell turnover.‍
• Best For:‍
  
  • Mild to moderate acne
  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark spots)
  • Uneven tone and texture
    
• ‍What to Expect:‍
  
  • You may experience mild redness or flaking for a few days. Most people see clearer, more even skin after a series of treatments.

Laser Resurfacing for Acne Scars

Laser technology offers one of the most powerful options for smoothing and renewing scarred skin. At our Boerne clinic, we use Sciton® laser devices including TRL Resurfacing Laser and ProFrac Fractional Laser, both designed to improve skin tone, texture, and depth.

• ‍TRL Resurfacing Laser:‍
  
  • Removes the outermost layers of skin, revealing fresh, healthier tissue and triggering collagen remodeling.‍
    
• ProFrac Fractional Laser:‍
  
  • Targets skin in tiny micro-columns, allowing for deeper healing while leaving surrounding tissue intact for faster recovery.‍
    
• Best For:‍
  
  • Textured or pitted scars
  • Fine lines and enlarged pores
  • Resistant hyperpigmentation‍
    
• Results:‍
  
  • Expect smoother, firmer skin with a visible reduction in scarring over a series of treatments.

Microneedling with PRF for Skin Texture and Scars

Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen. When paired with PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)—a natural healing concentrate from your own blood—it can dramatically enhance skin regeneration.

• ‍Best For:‍
  
  • Mild to moderate acne scarring
  • Skin tone and texture irregularities
  • Reducing enlarged pores‍
    
• What to Expect:‍
  
  • A few days of redness, similar to a mild sunburn. Over time, skin becomes smoother, tighter, and more radiant.
