Acne Scar Removal

How Does Laser Acen Scar Treatment Work? 

Unlike surgery, laser acne scar treatment uses ultra-short pulses of laser light to reach deeply into the skin’s sub-layers, treating the support structure.

Then the body’s natural healing process sweeps away older, damaged tissue and rebuilds it with fresh, new collagen and elastin—the crucial building blocks of normal-looking skin.

It’s a fast and simple procedure that’s easy to tolerate and requires little-to-no downtime. 

What Types of Scars Can Be Treated?

Laser acne scar treatment is FDA-cleared for acne scars on any area of the body, including the face. 

Am I a Good Candidate For This Treatment? 

Laser acne scar treatment can work on many skin types, including very light and darker skin. Contact a provider to find out if you are a good candidate for this treatment. 

How Long Does It Take?

The treatment can be performed in as little as 15 minutes or less, depending on the size of the targeted area. 

What Does the Treatment Feel Like? 

Most people feel minimal discomfort during laser acne scar treatment. Your physician will work with you on the best option for optimal comfort based on your individual situation. 

How Many Treatments Will I Need? 

Acne scars will begin to show improvement in 2 treatments but a series of 3 to 5 treatments is recommended for optimum aesthetic results. 

How Quickly Will I Recover? 

Most people resume regular activities immediately following the treatment session. 

Are There Any Side Effects?

Typical side effects include temporary redness and swelling at the treatment site. Unwanted pigmentation associated with the acne scarring should slightly frost (whiten) during treatment, then darken over the following 24 hours and then shed over time.
