Acne Scar Reduction

Scarring can happen at any age

Vascular-specific lasers target blood vessels and can help lighten flat or raised scars that are pink or purple and help flatten raised scars. Fractional or carbon dioxide ablative lasers are used treat acne scars.

Causes of Acne

Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. It causes whiteheads, blackheads or pimples.

Acne is most common among teenagers, though it affects people of all ages. Effective acne treatments are available, but acne can be persistent. The pimples and bumps heal slowly, and when one begins to go away, others seem to crop up.

Depending on its severity, acne can cause emotional distress and scar the skin. The earlier you start treatment, the lower your risk of such problems.

Treatment for Acne Scars

Laser treatment for acne scars focuses light on the top layers of your skin to break up scar tissue. At the same time, the treatment encourages new, healthy skin cells to grow and replace the scar tissue.

While this treatment doesn’t completely remove acne scars, it can reduce their appearance and also minimize pain caused by them.

This treatment doesn’t require recovery downtime. You can plan to be back to work after a day or two.
