Acne/Acne Scarring
Treatments in Yuma, Az
What is Acne and Acne Scarring?
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when pores become clogged with oil, bacteria, and dead skin cells—leading to breakouts, inflammation, and irritation. While acne itself can be frustrating, the lasting marks it leaves behind can be even more challenging.
Acne scarring develops when deeper inflammation damages the skin’s structure, resulting in uneven texture, discoloration, and visible scars that don’t fade on their own. This can impact not only your skin’s appearance but also your confidence.
The good news is that you don’t have to live with it. At TruMed Aesthetics, we offer advanced, results-driven treatments designed to clear active acne, improve skin texture, and restore a smoother, more even complexion.

What Are The Causes of Acne and Acne Scarring?
-
Excess Oil Production: Overactive sebaceous glands produce too much oil, leading to clogged pores that result in blackheads, whiteheads, or other types of acne.
-
Bacteria: Acne-causing bacteria, such as Cutibacterium acnes, can grow in clogged pores, triggering inflammation and worsening the severity of breakouts.
-
Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations during puberty, pregnancy, or stress can overstimulate oil glands, increasing the likelihood and intensity of acne.
-
Improper Skincare: Using harsh products, over-exfoliating, or failing to clean the skin properly can irritate the skin and aggravate acne.
-
Picking at Acne: Popping or picking at pimples damages deeper layers of the skin, increasing the risk of infections and permanent scarring.
-
Genetics: A family history of acne can predispose individuals to more severe breakouts and a higher likelihood of developing scars.
Our Acne & Acne Scarring Treatment Options
Microneedling
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that stimulates your skin’s natural collagen production to improve texture and tone. For acne and acne scarring, it helps break down damaged tissue while encouraging new, healthy skin to form—gradually smoothing scars and reducing the appearance of active breakouts. The result is clearer, more even skin with improved overall quality and minimal downtime.
Bio Repeel
BioRePeel is a next-generation chemical peel that exfoliates and rejuvenates the skin without significant downtime. It helps unclog pores, reduce active acne, and improve the appearance of acne scars by stimulating skin renewal and collagen production. The result is smoother, brighter skin with a clearer, more even complexion.
Dermabrasion
Dermabrasion is a resurfacing treatment that removes the outer layers of damaged skin to improve texture and tone. It is especially effective for reducing the appearance of acne scars by encouraging new, healthier skin to form. Over time, skin appears smoother, more even, and refreshed.
Laser Therapy
Laser treatments use advanced light energy to target acne, pigmentation, and skin texture concerns at a deeper level. They help reduce active breakouts, minimize acne scarring, and stimulate collagen for smoother, clearer skin. With a series of treatments, patients often see significant improvement in tone, texture, and overall skin health.
Hydrafacials
Hydrafacial is a gentle yet powerful treatment that deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin. For acne-prone skin, it helps remove impurities, reduce congestion, and restore balance without irritation. Patients love it for its immediate glow and long-term improvement in skin clarity and texture.
Skin Care
Medical-grade skincare uses clinically proven ingredients to treat acne at the source and support long-term skin health. These products work to regulate oil production, reduce inflammation, and promote skin renewal to improve both active acne and scarring. When used consistently, they enhance treatment results and help maintain clear, healthy skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
You've Got Questions and We've Got Answers
What treatments are most effective for acne and acne scarring?
The best treatment depends on your skin and the severity of your acne or scarring. Options may include medical-grade facials, chemical peels, microneedling, and laser treatments to reduce breakouts, smooth texture, and improve overall skin clarity. A consultation helps determine the most effective plan for you.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients benefit from a series of treatments for the best results. Typically, 3–6 sessions spaced several weeks apart are recommended to significantly improve acne and scarring.
How long does it take to see results from acne treatments?
Some patients notice improvement within a few weeks, especially with active acne. However, treating acne scars and deeper skin concerns can take several weeks to a few months, as your skin needs time to heal and regenerate.
What should I avoid after treatment?
After treatment, it’s important to:
-
Avoid sun exposure and wear SPF daily
-
Use gentle skincare products
-
Avoid picking or touching treated areas
-
Limit heat, sweating, and intense workouts for 24–48 hours
Proper aftercare helps prevent irritation and supports optimal healing.
Is there downtime after acne or acne scar treatments?
Downtime varies depending on the treatment:
-
Light treatments: little to no downtime
-
Microneedling or peels: mild redness or peeling for a few days
-
Laser treatments: a few days to a week of redness or sensitivity
Your provider will guide you on what to expect based on your treatment plan.
Will acne scars go away completely?
While some scars can be significantly improved, complete removal isn’t always possible. The goal of treatment is to smooth the skin, reduce discoloration, and dramatically improve overall appearance—often to the point where scars are barely noticeable.
