When acne scars become a problem
Many acne scars are noticeable even if you take good care of your skin. These scars take various forms, such as ice pick scars, boxcar scars, rolling scars, or hypertrophic scars. While some are known to fade over time, others are more stubborn and persistent. When left untreated, these deep-set marks can make you feel self-conscious and uncomfortable.
Though exfoliants promise to reduce textured scars, they fail to reach the deeper layers or deliver real results. Some products even contain ingredients that cause further damage to your skin. That's why our aesthetic team specializes in laser treatments — to provide patients with visible improvements without adverse side effects.
What is laser acne scar removal?
Injecting Confidence Aesthetic Medicine uses advanced laser energy to remove damaged cells while promoting collagen growth. Over time, this encourages the skin to heal itself from within and minimize the appearance of scars. Laser treatment is safe, effective, and generally comfortable since our built-in cooling system helps reduce pain.
Additional benefits of scar revision:
- Manage other texture-related issues, such as fine lines and rough patches
- Reduce discoloration caused by sun damage and age spots
- Precisely target specific areas with minimal damage to the surrounding tissue
- Feel more confident in your skin
Is recovery from laser treatment long?
Milder treatments don't require much downtime, though you may experience a few days of redness or swelling. Peeling may occur, but this is a normal part of the healing process. Patients should avoid picking at their skin and excess sun exposure to prevent further damage. Aesthetician Katie Guest can provide detailed post-treatment instructions to ensure your skin heals properly.
Those who undergo intensive scar revision sessions may need to take time off from work or social activities. Though recovery is a little longer, results are considered well worth it. Your complexion should feel noticeably smoother once the side effects subside. We strive to provide patients with everything needed for a successful experience.
Will my acne scars return?
The results of laser scar removal are long-lasting once the healing process is complete. However, if you don't follow a consistent skincare routine or practice healthy lifestyle habits, future acne can lead to more scars. We recommend avoiding triggers that lead to breakouts and finding a regimen that suits your skin type.
