A combination of laser and light therapies targets active acne at the source while addressing residual scarring and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation — customized to your skin type.
Our acne and acne scar program combines targeted laser and light therapies to address both active breakouts and residual scarring. Specific wavelengths kill acne-causing bacteria while reducing oil gland activity and inflammation — calming current flares and helping prevent new ones. For scarring, fractional laser energy stimulates collagen remodeling deep within the skin, gradually raising and smoothing pitted or uneven areas. We also address post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, the dark marks left behind after acne heals. Treatments are tailored to your skin type, acne severity, and pigmentation, with most patients seeing meaningful improvement in active acne within a month and continued scarring improvement over several months.
Laser and light energy target acne-causing bacteria while reducing sebaceous gland activity and inflammation. For scarring, fractional laser energy stimulates collagen remodeling in atrophic scars, raising and smoothing their surface. A personalized protocol is developed based on acne type, severity, and skin tone.
Yes. Our protocols combine treatments to address active breakouts and existing scars in the same care plan, so you make progress on both fronts simultaneously.
Most patients see noticeable improvement in active acne within 2 to 4 weeks. Scar improvement is more gradual, with visible results over 3 to 6 months.
Atrophic (pitted) scars — including ice pick, boxcar, and rolling scars — respond well to fractional laser treatment. Hyperpigmented marks also fade significantly.
We use modalities and settings appropriate for your skin type. During your consultation, your provider will design a plan that's safe and effective for your specific complexion.
