Acne Scar Therapy

Skin imperfections or scars left by acne can detract from your physical appearance and lead to psychological and emotional problems, long after the acne has disappeared. Whether this scarring is the result of teenage acne or adult acne, advances in aesthetic medicine now makes it possible to clear your skin of acne scars with little or no down time, helping you to regain your skins natural beauty and texture.

Through the use of laser and light therapies in conjunction with other resurfacing techniques, such as microdermabrasion, collagen injections, and glycolic acid peels, it is possible to induce the skin to create a new smooth layer of skin. Acne scar therapy, with laser or light therapy, offers mild or no downtime depending on the laser system used. The laser or light system (non-ablative) with no downtime usually requires a patient to undergo between 6-8 treatments approximately 2-3 weeks apart. Since the treatments are non-invasive the results occur gradually over this period of time, leaving your skin with a youthful, smooth and healthy appearance. The laser system (semi-ablative) with mild downtime requires 1-3 treatments usually 4-6 weeks apart. The additional benefits of acne scar therapy are reduced pore size, and softer more even skin tone leaving you with skin you'll be proud of.
