ACNE SCAR TREATMENT PLAN

View Our Photo Gallery

Successful treatment of acne scars through the use of lasers and topical products depends on the type of acne scar that is to be treated, skin type and the patient’s willingness or ability to take time off from work or school. The type of acne scar present will determine whether a laser resurfacing procedure is used (common for textured acne scars) or a procedure is used that does not resurface the skin (common for mild atrophic scarring and pigmented acne scars). It is impossible to determine a treatment program for your acne scars until we are able to evaluate your acne scar condition in person. During your free consultation, we will determine what laser or topical program would be appropriate, as we will be able to see the scars and qualify your condition and best possible treatment.

Acne Scar Treatment Before and After Pictures

We offer two options for textured acne scar removal. One option uses lasers that do not have any recovery downtime. Although this treatment is effective at developing new collagen, deeper scars will be resistant to the non-ablative (no downtime) laser procedures. Ablative laser resurfacing is the second option and is a more aggressive treatment program for textured acne scars. It typically leads to better results, but requires the patient to stay home for several days after the treatment for recovery.

Celibré has several laser and topical solutions available for pigmented acne scar removal. Our first option utilizes one of two different q-switched lasers to treat brown acne scars. Q-switched lasers are used for removing a multitude of dark pigment, including acne scars, tattoos, sunspots, birthmarks and other skin conditions. A Q-switched laser works by heating up and ultimately breaking down the areas of the skin that contain melanin, the pigment that causes the acne scars, birthmarks, sunspots, etc. We use a different laser to remove red pigment called a pulse dye laser. A pulse dye laser is commonly used to remove red spots associated with acne scarring in lighter-skinned patients. It works by closing the small capillaries that create the redness, thereby removing the spots. Celibré also has two different de-pigmentation programs used to treat brown acne scars. These programs use products that prevent the body from making the pigment that causes brown acne scars and are more commonly used with darker skin types.
