Acne scars have a way of lingering long after breakouts are gone — a daily reminder of something you’d rather leave behind. Whether you’re dealing with pitted, textured skin or post-inflammatory discoloration, you don’t have to accept it as permanent. At Candeo Clinic in Gilbert, we offer advanced, medical-grade treatments designed to visibly reduce acne scarring and help you feel genuinely comfortable in your own skin — no heavy filter required.
Candeo Clinic is led by Abby, a Physician Assistant and medical aesthetics expert with over two decades of clinical experience. Abby takes a whole-patient approach — combining science-backed treatments with honest guidance — so you always know exactly what you need (and what you don’t) to reach your skin goals.
What Causes Acne Scars?
When inflamed acne damages the deeper layers of skin, the healing process doesn’t always go smoothly. Depending on how your skin responds, you may be left with:
-
Atrophic (depressed) scars — including icepick, boxcar, and rolling scars caused by collagen loss
-
Hypertrophic or raised scars — from excess collagen production during healing
-
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) — dark spots or redness left behind after blemishes clear
Each type responds differently to treatment, which is why a personalized assessment is essential before creating any plan.

What to Expect
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation where Abby evaluates your skin, reviews your history, and explains your options honestly. There’s no one-size-fits-all protocol here. Abby frequently recommends combination approaches — layering treatments across a planned timeline — because the results are simply better. Most clients see meaningful improvement after a series of treatments, with continued progress over several months as collagen rebuilds and skin renews.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
This depends on your scar type, depth, and skin tone. Mild discoloration may respond well to a few peels or laser sessions, while deeper atrophic scarring typically benefits from a multi-treatment plan involving microneedling or Agnes RF. Abby will give you a realistic timeline during your consultation — no vague promises, just a clear plan you can feel confident in.
Why Choose Candeo Clinic for Acne Scar Treatment?
Abby brings more than aesthetic expertise — she brings clinical depth. As a practicing Physician Assistant with an emergency medicine background and advanced aesthetics training, she assesses your skin the way a clinician would: thoroughly, honestly, and with your long-term results in mind. She won’t recommend treatments you don’t need. She’ll build a relationship with you, track your progress, and adjust your plan so your results keep improving. Clients describe her as the trusted friend who also happens to be one of the most skilled providers they’ve ever seen.
