Acne scars aren't all the same... and that's exactly why acne scar treatment shouldn't be one-size-fits-all.

In this video, Dr. Beth Matre explains how to tell the difference between ice-pick, boxcar, rolling, and combination acne scars using a simple mirror test. She also breaks down an important distinction: treatments that improve skin texture aren't necessarily the same treatments used for lingering redness or brown marks.

You'll learn:

✅ How to tell texture scars from post-acne redness or brown marks

✅ A quick mirror test for identifying ice-pick, boxcar, rolling, and combination acne scars

✅ How microneedling supports collagen remodeling and helps rebuild the skin's support layer over time

✅ How RF microneedling, including Morpheus8-style treatments, differs from traditional microneedling

✅ Why RF microneedling settings and provider experience matter

✅ How PRP/PRF may be added to microneedling treatments to support healing

✅ How IPL can target lingering redness and brown discoloration after acne

✅ Why medical-grade skincare and daily SPF matter for protecting your progress and helping prevent future breakouts

The big takeaway? Color and texture are two different problems. A treatment designed to improve depressed acne scars may not be the right tool for residual redness or pigmentation.

At Fix Studios, acne scar treatment plans are based on your scar type, skin type, medical history, and the concerns you're actually trying to improve. That may mean one treatment—or a combination of treatments over time.
