Acne Scar & Acne Treatment Ontario
From medical-grade skincare to advanced in-clinic procedures, explore a variety of effective, non-invasive treatments designed to address acne and acne scarring for smoother, clearer skin.
Types of Acne and Acne Scars
Acne comes in different forms, each requiring tailored treatment. At Dr. Lian Beauty, we treat different types of acne, including:
- Whiteheads and Blackheads: Non-inflammatory types of acne caused by clogged pores.
- Papules and Pustules: Red, inflamed bumps that may contain pus.
- Nodules and Cysts: Deep, painful forms of acne that can lead to scarring.
For acne scars, we offer specialized treatments for:
- Atrophic Scars: Ice pick, boxcar, and rolling scars that create depressions in the skin.
- Hypertrophic and Keloid Scars: Raised, thickened scars caused by excess collagen production.
Advanced Acne and Acne Scar Treatments
At our clinic, we offer a range of non-surgical treatments to help with acne and acne scars, customized to your skin’s needs. Here’s a quick overview of what we provide:

- Benefits: Smoother skin texture, reduced pore size, and clearer skin tone.
Â
Combining microneedling with radiofrequency energy, Potenza® RF microneedling is one of our most effective treatments for deep acne scars, including rolling and boxcar scars.

- Suitable for all skin types.
- Minimal downtime with natural-looking results.

Frequently Asked Question
What is the best thing for acne and acne scars?
The best treatment depends on the severity of your acne or acne scars, as well as your skin type. At our clinic, we offer a range of medical-grade solutions like RF microneedling (Potenza®) and laser facials (Elite iQ™), which are highly effective for both active acne and acne scars.
Every treatment plan is tailored to your needs to ensure the best outcome.
How do you treat acne and acne scars at the same time?
Can acne scars be permanently removed?
While acne scars may not be completely erased, advanced treatments like RF microneedling, chemical peels, and laser facials can drastically reduce their appearance.
These methods stimulate collagen production, improving skin texture and making scars less visible over time. With the right treatment plan, you can achieve long-lasting, noticeable results.
Does microneedling get rid of acne scars permanently?
Microneedling, particularly RF microneedling (Potenza®), can significantly reduce the appearance of acne scars.
The results are long-lasting, but it’s important to note that treatments may need to be repeated over time to maintain optimal results.
For many patients in Ottawa and surrounding areas like Embrun and Russell, RF microneedling is a highly effective option for achieving smoother, more even-toned skin.

The Elite iQâ„¢ laser is one of the top options for acne scar treatment, particularly for individuals with darker skin tones.
This advanced technology can resurface the skin, reduce scar visibility, and improve overall skin texture. Because it is customizable, it’s safe and effective for patients no matter your skin type or tone.

Is scar treatment worth it?
Yes, acne scar treatment is absolutely worth it. Non-invasive options like RF microneedling, chemical peels, and laser facials can lead to long-lasting improvements in skin texture and appearance.
These treatments offer a great return on investment, providing smoother, more confident skin without the need for surgery.
What is the new treatment for acne scars?
One of the latest advancements in acne scar treatment is RF microneedling (Potenza®). It combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy to target deeper layers of skin, providing more dramatic results than standard microneedling alone.
It’s particularly effective for those with deeper scars like boxcar or rolling scars and is safe for all skin tones, including darker skin.
