Acne may be temporary, but the scars it leaves behind are often long-lasting. At the Michigan Center for Cosmetic Services, you can benefit from a strategic combination of Morpheus8, CO2 laser resurfacing, intense pulsed light, and dermal fillers to help correct scarring.
Fractionated CO2 laser energy resurfaces damaged tissue and accelerates cellular turnover. This improves rough texture, reduces the appearance of deeper scars, and refines overall skin quality.
Intense pulsed light targets lingering redness and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that often remain long after acne has resolved. The result is a clearer, more even complexion that you can feel confident in.
For certain pitted scars, strategically placed filler can elevate indentations to blend in with the surrounding skin. When performed by an experienced cosmetic surgeon, this technique creates natural-looking smoothness without overfilling indents.

Frequently Asked Questions
Collagen remodeling is a gradual biological process. Some improvements, such as reduced redness, may appear within weeks. However, deeper textural changes develop as your body generates new supportive tissue.
Technologies like Morpheus8 and our CO2 laser stimulate this regenerative response beneath the surface. After a comprehensive acne scar treatment, Ann Arbor patients often see ongoing progressive refinement for 3 to 6 months as collagen fibers strengthen.
When performed with precision, acne scar correction should never look artificial or overdone. By carefully calibrating energy settings and placing filler only where you need structural support, Dr. West ensures your features remain authentic to you after an acne scar treatment. Ann Arbor patients trust her expertise because she’s well-known for correcting unnatural-looking outcomes created elsewhere, delivering refined, balanced results.
Active acne management focuses on the reduction of oil production, bacteria, and inflammation. Scar revision addresses structural changes that remain after breakouts have healed. Depressed scars require collagen stimulation or lifting techniques, while redness and pigmentation irregularities demand targeted light-based therapies.
Because Dr. West customizes every acne scar treatment, Ann Arbor patients benefit from her surgical-level understanding of skin anatomy. Her extensive expertise allows her to correct textural damage at multiple depths, rather than simply addressing surface discoloration.
Acne scars often become more noticeable when light hits your skin from the side, creating shadows that exaggerate depressions and uneven texture. This is especially true for rolling and boxcar scars, which are indented in the skin and disrupt the smooth reflection of light. By rebuilding collagen and resurfacing irregular areas with an acne scar treatment, Ann Arbor patients can achieve skin that appears noticeably smoother.
While the primary focus is on repairing indentations and discoloration, many patients notice broader improvements in tone, pore size, and firmness. Stimulating collagen production enhances the skin’s overall resilience, while resurfacing technologies can encourage healthier cellular turnover.
In some cases, Dr. West may recommend subtle additions, such as neuromodulators or skin-tightening treatments, to maintain balanced facial harmony throughout your skin care journey. Our patients appreciate that their skin looks revitalized as a whole, not just improved where scars once were.
