At Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery, we go beyond cosmetic enhancement — we transform lives. Led by Dr. Benjamin C. Stong, one of the most highly respected facial plastic surgeons in the Southeast, our Atlanta-based practice offers unparalleled expertise in acne scar treatment. With years of focused experience treating acne scarring in a diverse patient population, we know firsthand that no two scars — or patients — are alike. Whether you’re dealing with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, rolling scars, boxcar scars, or pitted icepick scars, Kalos offers tailored, science-backed solutions in the heart of Atlanta.
Dr. Stong did an amazing job. I had an eyebrow lift, eyelids, face and neck lift. It’s only been 3.5 weeks and I am thrilled with the new me already! He is highly qualified and I recommend him without hesitation. He and his office staff are professional, available and eager to make your experience a positive one.
Why Patients in Atlanta Trust Kalos for Acne Scar Treatment
Atlanta is a fast-growing, multicultural hub where people care deeply about appearance, confidence, and self-expression. With over half a million residents in the city proper and nearly 6 million across the metro area, the demand for specialized, safe, and effective skin treatments is higher than ever. At Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery, our deep understanding of local skin health needs — across different ethnicities and skin types — allows us to serve a broad patient base with precision and care.
We’re not a med spa that simply offers the latest devices — we’re a physician-led aesthetic practice that blends artistry, technology, and deep clinical knowledge. Every patient who walks through our doors in Buckhead is met with personalized service, honest recommendations, and a long-term treatment vision that puts safety, natural outcomes, and skin integrity first.
Tailored Acne Scar Treatments Available at Kalos in Atlanta
1. Cutera Pearl Fusion Laser – Advanced Resurfacing for Deep Acne Scars: This semi-ablative laser is particularly effective for patients with pronounced texture issues or severe scarring. By targeting the deeper dermal layers, Pearl Fusion remodels collagen and resurfaces irregularities. It’s ideal for those who have not responded to superficial treatments in the past and are ready for transformative results. Healing time ranges from 10 to 14 days — perfect for patients who can plan their downtime and want to see dramatic improvements.
2. Profound RF Microneedling – Comprehensive Skin Renewal in One Session: One of the most advanced treatments available, Profound uses radiofrequency energy delivered through microneedles to penetrate the skin at the ideal depth. This treatment is highly effective at stimulating the production of elastin, collagen, and hyaluronic acid — key building blocks for youthful, scar-free skin. Results build over time, peaking around 6–9 months post-treatment. Profound is safe for all skin tones and is often recommended for patients seeking an all-in-one solution for scars, skin laxity, and texture.
3. Chemical Peels – Controlled Exfoliation for Superficial Scars: At Kalos, we offer a curated selection of chemical peels, ranging from mild to deep, all designed to remove damaged surface skin and promote regeneration. Our experienced staff will help choose the right peel based on your skin tone, sensitivity, and the depth of your scarring. A series of treatments is often recommended for best outcomes.
4. Dermal Fillers – Immediate Volume Correction for Pitted Scars: For patients with atrophic or depressed acne scars, dermal fillers can lift and smooth the skin surface. These are particularly helpful for patients preparing for events or seeking a temporary, non-invasive improvement. Dr. Stong personally performs all injections, ensuring natural, symmetrical results.

We consider factors like your work schedule, skin tone, previous treatments, and long-term goals to guide our recommendations. Our Atlanta facility includes a fully accredited surgical suite, and we maintain the highest standards of medical care and safety.
As a member of the Face to Face committee and a partner with the Partnership Against Domestic Violence of Atlanta, Dr. Stong also donates his time and skills to help survivors of trauma — reinforcing our commitment to community wellness.
