Transform Your Skin: Non-Surgical Solutions for Acne and Surgical Scars
Acne scars and surgical scars can both leave lasting marks on your skin—and your confidence. At Tomorrow’s Wellness Center in Northfield, NJ, we specialize in non-surgical scar treatments that help smooth, soften, and fade scars with minimal downtime.
Why Choose Non-Surgical Scar Treatments?
Traditional surgical options for scar revision are invasive and can require significant recovery. Non-surgical treatments, on the other hand, stimulate your skin’s natural healing process and rebuild collagen where it’s needed most. They are designed to:
- Smooth uneven skin texture
- Soften depressed or raised scars
- Improve skin tone and radiance
- Minimize downtime and discomfort
- Deliver long-lasting results
Whether your scars are from acne, surgery, or injury, we can create a customized plan that works for you.
Types of Scars We Treat
Every scar forms differently, and the right treatment depends on scar type. We treat a wide range of scars, including:
Acne Scars
- Ice Pick Scars – Deep, narrow scars that extend into the dermis, resembling small puncture marks.
- Boxcar Scars – Broad, rectangular depressions with sharp edges, often found on the cheeks or temples.
- Rolling Scars – Wave-like depressions caused by fibrous bands that tether the skin down.
- Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation – Dark spots left behind after acne clears (not a true scar, but often treated alongside scar therapy).
Surgical Scars
- Linear Surgical Scars – Straight scars left after procedures such as C-sections or orthopedic surgeries.
- Hypertrophic Scars – Thick, raised scars that stay within the boundaries of the incision site.
- Indented Surgical Scars – Depressed or sunken scars that may benefit from fillers or collagen-stimulating treatments.
Traumatic or Injury Scars
- Scars caused by accidents, cuts, or burns, which may be raised, discolored, or uneven in texture.
By classifying your scar type, we can select the most effective non-surgical treatments to deliver visible improvement.

Non-Surgical Treatment Options for Scars
Every scar is unique, which is why we take a personalized approach. Depending on your scar type and skin tone, we may recommend one or more of the following:
- PicoWay® Laser – Stimulates collagen remodeling, smooths scar tissue, and blends scars into surrounding skin.
- Microneedling – Uses tiny needles to encourage natural collagen production, improving texture and reducing scar depth.
- Chemical Peels – Remove damaged outer layers of skin, improving surface irregularities and discoloration.
- Dermal Fillers – Lift indented scars for immediate smoothing, often paired with collagen-stimulating therapies.
- Subcision (when appropriate) – Releases fibrous bands that tether rolling scars, often performed before laser or microneedling.
By combining these therapies strategically, we achieve the most dramatic, natural-looking results.
