Scar Removal & Improvement in Toronto

Reduce The Appearance Of Acne & Skin Scars

Acne & Skin Scar Removal Treatment

“Scar removal” is a bit of a misnomer, scar tissue can’t be erased entirely, but its appearance, texture, and colour can often be substantially improved with the right combination of treatments.
At ViViDerma, scar-improvement plans are built individually based on scar type, age, and skin tone, under the clinical oversight of Sahar Karimzadeh, RN, typically drawing on microneedling, PRP/PRF, and targeted energy-based devices.

What Are the Benefits of Scar Removal Treatments?

Using advanced techniques such as microneedling, laser resurfacing, and chemical peels, our experienced medical team customizes each treatment plan to smooth your skin texture and restore your confidence.

  • Reduces visible scars and evens out skin tone.
  • Stimulates collagen production for smoother, firmer skin.
  • Minimal downtime with long-lasting results.
  • Safe for most skin types and customizable for individual needs.

Scar Removal Treatments are ideal for individuals with acne scars, surgical scars, or uneven skin texture who want to achieve smoother, healthier-looking skin. It’s suitable for both men and women with realistic expectations and generally healthy skin.

Types of Scars We Address

  • Acne scarring — including atrophic (indented) and boxcar-type scars
  • Surgical scars — from past procedures, C-sections, or injuries
  • Hypertrophic and raised scars — thickened scar tissue that sits above the skin surface
  • Textural irregularities — from injury, burns, or previous skin trauma

How Scar Type Affects Treatment Choice

Indented acne scars generally respond well to microneedling and PRP, which stimulate collagen to help fill the depressed areas from below. Raised or hypertrophic scars may respond better to different approaches, sometimes including energy-based devices that target the scar tissue directly. Older, more established scars typically take longer to see meaningful change than newer scars, which is why your consultation includes an honest look at your specific scar and what’s realistic for it — not a blanket promise of dramatic improvement for every scar type.

What a Scar Removal Treatment Course Looks Like

Most scar-improvement plans involve a series of sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, allowing the skin to heal and rebuild collagen between treatments. The number of sessions depends on scar severity and age — some clients see meaningful change after three to four sessions, while more significant or long-standing scarring may benefit from a longer course.

Scar Removal Recovery and What to Expect

Downtime varies by the specific treatment used. Microneedling typically causes redness for 24-48 hours, similar to a mild sunburn, while more intensive combination treatments may involve slightly longer recovery. Your provider will walk you through exactly what to expect for the specific combination recommended for your scar type before you begin.

Setting Realistic Expectations

Scar improvement is a gradual process, and results build over months rather than days. We prioritize being upfront about what’s achievable for your specific scar rather than promising a result that isn’t realistic — which is part of why the first step is always a proper consultation rather than jumping straight into treatment.
