INKLESS TATTOO
Acne Scar Repair in Reno, NV
Smooth out pitted, textured skin from years of acne scarring.
Who it is for
Acne Scar Repair is for you when depressed acne scars leave texture after breakouts have settled. It is designed for atrophic scars, including ice-pick, boxcar, and rolling scars. These scars sit below the surrounding skin, so planning centers on their shape and depth.
All skin tones are eligible. Your active acne should be under control before you begin, because this is a plan for existing acne scarring rather than active acne. If you have used isotretinoin, wait at least three months after your last use before treatment.
You may be ready to discuss this service if foundation has become your way of smoothing textured-looking skin, or if prior microneedling or laser treatment did not address what you wanted to change. At consultation, Tricia and Chaz classify your scars and assess their depth so your plan reflects your skin.
Bring details about the scars that concern you, prior treatments, your current acne status, and any isotretinoin use. This supports a direct discussion of treatment fit and timeline.
How the technique works
Acne Scar Repair uses targeted micro-channeling at the base of pitted scars. It is calibrated for acne-scar depth and texture to trigger collagen production where a depressed scar needs structural attention. A specialized proprietary repair serum is used with the micro-channeling to support remodeling.
This is not a standard facial or microneedling with PRP. Your treatment uses the repair serum rather than your own blood. Topical numbing is used during the appointment, and the micro-channeling depth is calibrated to the area being treated.
The focus is scar mapping, not a one-size-fits-all pass over the face. Clinical photography and magnified mapping identify the areas and depth characteristics for planning.
Session planning and healing timeline
Your process begins with scar type classification, depth assessment, and a realistic timeline discussion. Clinical photography and scar mapping under magnification document the areas to plan. The 60–90 minute treatment includes topical numbing, depth-calibrated micro-channeling, and the repair serum.
A series of 3–5 sessions is typical for significant improvement. Progressive smoothing is discussed over 6–12 weeks, not as an instant surface change. Your written plan sets the timing for return visits based on your assessment rather than an assumed schedule.
Progress is discussed against your mapped scar pattern and your goals. The series addresses pitted, depressed scars through the remodeling process while staying grounded in their type and depth.
Aftercare
You receive written, individualized aftercare instructions for your treated area and plan. Follow them carefully, keep the area clean, and do not pick at it. Your written plan gives the specific care sequence and return timing after your session.
Before leaving, discuss restrictions for sun, friction, and water as they apply to your treated area. If you have healing questions, contact the studio and refer to your treatment-specific guidance.
Aftercare belongs alongside scar mapping and the session series. Keeping the area clean, avoiding picking, and following your written instructions keeps you aligned with the process planned for your acne scars.
Price and what to discuss at your consultation
Acne Scar Repair is Starting at $800 per area. Your price is proposed after the skin assessment and scar mapping because the plan is based on the scar types, depth, and areas treated. Discuss the areas that concern you most so the proposed plan and price are clear before you begin.
Consultations are $75 and last 45 minutes with Tricia and Chaz. You receive a skin assessment, proposed treatment plan, and proposed price. Ask about your scar classification, sessions under consideration, the 60–90 minute appointment, and your written aftercare and return plan.
