We work with you, finding the best solution to fit your lifestyle

Clearer Skin. Smoother Texture. More Confidence.

Acne can affect patients at any age. For some, acne is an occasional breakout. For others, it becomes a chronic concern involving inflammation, clogged pores, post-inflammatory pigmentation, uneven texture, and acne scarring.

At Vikara Esthetics in Miami, acne and acne scar treatment is personalized because active acne, pigmentation, redness, and scars all require different strategies. We evaluate your skin carefully and create a treatment plan that may include deep cleansing, chemical peels, RF microneedling, laser scar revision, Bellafill for selected acne scars, medical-grade skincare, and lifestyle support.

Our goal is to help calm inflammation, improve clarity, refine texture, and support healthier skin over time.

Why Acne and Acne Scars Develop

Acne may be influenced by:

  • Oil production
  • Clogged pores
  • Bacterial imbalance
  • Hormonal fluctuations
  • Inflammation
  • Stress
  • Diet and lifestyle factors
  • Medications
  • Skincare products
  • Genetics

Acne scars develop when inflammation damages the deeper layers of the skin. The type of scar matters. Some scars are shallow and textural, while others are deeper, tethered, or volume-deficient.

The Vikara Difference

At Vikara, we treat acne and acne scars as different but connected concerns.

Your evaluation may include:

  • Active acne pattern
  • Oiliness and congestion
  • Inflammation
  • Pigmentation
  • Scar type and depth
  • Skin sensitivity
  • Hormonal or lifestyle triggers
  • Current skincare routine
  • Prior treatments

This helps us decide whether the first step should be calming active acne, improving pigmentation, resurfacing scars, stimulating collagen, or combining several therapies over time.

Our philosophy is simple:

Control the inflammation first. Rebuild the skin second. Maintain the results consistently.

Treatment Options

RF Microneedling

VIKARA's radiofrequency microneedling platform

Microneedling with radiofrequency for scarred texture.

RF microneedling combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to support collagen remodeling. It can improve the appearance of acne scars, texture, pores, and skin firmness over a planned course of treatment.

  • Improves the appearance of acne scars and uneven texture
  • Also supports pores and overall skin firmness
  • Combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy

Laser Scar Revision

Stimulate renewal where scars have settled.

Laser treatments can improve the appearance of acne scars, discoloration, and uneven texture by stimulating skin renewal and a collagen response. Different scar types respond differently, so treatment follows an evaluation of the scarring you actually have.

  • Addresses acne scars, discoloration, and uneven texture
  • Works by stimulating renewal and a collagen response
  • Chosen after evaluating your specific scar type

Chemical Peels

Reduce congestion and even out acne marks.

Chemical peels can reduce congestion, improve tone, and support exfoliation, which helps with the marks left behind after breakouts. They are used in selected patients as one part of a broader acne plan.

  • Reduce congestion and support exfoliation
  • Improve tone and address acne marks
  • Used in selected patients as part of a fuller plan

Bellafill

Volume support for specific types of scarring.

Bellafill may be considered for certain types of acne scars when volume support is needed beneath the surface. Patient selection matters a great deal here, so it is recommended only after careful evaluation.

  • Considered for certain acne scars that need volume support
  • Patient selection is a deliberate part of the process
  • Recommended only after careful evaluation

FAQ about Treat Acne & Acne Scars

I took isotretinoin in the past. Does that rule me out?

Not permanently, though timing matters. We ask for two to four weeks between finishing isotretinoin and starting laser or microneedling. Tell us when you took it, including if it was some time ago, because it affects how your skin responds.

How many sessions does acne scar treatment usually take?

Scar revision is done as a package of four treatments, one month apart. Acne scarring responds gradually rather than dramatically, and the month between sessions is when your skin does the remodelling work that produces the result.

Do you treat teenagers?

Yes. We treat teenagers with active acne using a combination of in-office treatments, nutritional counseling, and a consistent home-care maintenance routine. Because successful acne treatment requires patience and compliance, we begin with these foundational steps and monitor progress closely.

What does a full course of acne scar treatment add up to?

Acne-scar treatment is typically completed as a series of four sessions scheduled about one month apart. Each plan may combine laser and regenerative therapies based on the depth, type, and extent of the scarring. Because treatment is customized, the total cost depends on the procedures recommended and will be reviewed before you begin.
