  • Ice-pick scars (deep puncture marks) 
  • Rolling scars (thick bands of scar tissues looking like ripples under the skin)

Type of Laser Treatments

The targeted LASER beams can be used to remove mild to moderate acne scars. The deeper scars have to be surgically removed in order to ensure that the skin smoothly heals.

  • Ablative Laser

A small patch of skin around a scar is removed through ablative laser treatment. The skin looks smooth when grows back, it should look smoother. This type of acne treatment laser is suitable for all types of scars including the deeper acne scars.

  • Swelling 
  • Redness (goes away within 10 days) 
  • pain at the site of treatment (goes away within a few hours)
