At Bella Donna Beauty in Calgary, acne and acne scar treatment is performed by certified practitioners using professional-grade equipment — ensuring every client receives a safe, effective, and comfortable treatment experience from start to finish.
How Does Acne and Acne Scar Treatment Work?
Active acne treatment uses BBL laser to selectively target the Propionibacterium acnes bacteria responsible for inflammatory breakouts, reducing bacterial load and sebum production. BBL simultaneously addresses post-inflammatory erythema (red marks left after acne heals). For established acne scars — including ice pick, boxcar, and rolling scars — Fractional RF Microneedling creates micro-channels at the scar tissue depth while delivering heat energy that breaks down scar collagen and stimulates new, healthy collagen to form in its place. The result is progressive smoothing of both surface texture and deeper scar indentations.
Benefits of Acne and Acne Scar Treatment
- Reduces active breakout frequency and severity using BBL laser
- Fades post-inflammatory redness and hyperpigmentation
- Significantly improves acne scar depth and texture with RF Microneedling
- Stimulates long-term collagen remodelling for progressive results
- Safe for most skin types — your practitioner will confirm suitability
- Minimal downtime compared to aggressive resurfacing treatments
Who is Acne and Acne Scar Treatment Right For?
This programme is designed for clients dealing with active acne combined with developing scars, or for those who have cleared their acne and want to address the long-term textural and pigmentation damage left behind. It is suitable for most skin types, though a detailed skin assessment is required before treatment to confirm the right protocol. It is not suitable during pregnancy, isotretinoin (Accutane) treatment, or while using certain photosensitising topicals.
What to Expect: Sessions & Results
Improvement in active acne is typically seen after 2–3 BBL sessions. For acne scar reduction, most clients see noticeable textural improvement after 3 Fractional RF Microneedling sessions, with full results developing over 3–4 months post-treatment as collagen continues to remodel. A combined programme of 4–6 sessions is recommended for comprehensive treatment of both active acne and scarring.
Typical course: 4–6 sessions combining BBL and RF Microneedling

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best treatment for acne scars?
Fractional RF microneedling is one of the most effective treatments for acne scars — it breaks down scar tissue and stimulates new collagen, progressively smoothing the skin. BBL laser is ideal for red or discoloured post-acne marks.
How long does it take to see results for acne scar treatment?
Results develop over 4–12 weeks as new collagen forms. Most clients see significant improvement after 3 sessions. Deep icepick scars may require more sessions for full correction.
Can you treat active acne and acne scars at the same time?
Yes. BBL laser effectively targets active acne bacteria while simultaneously treating redness and early scarring. RF microneedling is used for established scars once active breakouts are managed.
