Laser for Acne Scars

Overview

Laser for Acne Scars

Acne scars can affect skin texture, confidence, and overall appearance. Laser treatment is one of the most effective dermatologist-approved solutions for reducing acne scars, improving skin smoothness, and boosting collagen. We provide advanced laser acne scar treatment customised for your scar type and skin condition.

  • Reduces pitted acne scars and textured skin
  • Improves collagen and skin smoothness
  • Works on acne marks and pigmentation
  • Safe treatment with dermatologist evaluation

What are Acne Scars?

Acne scars form when severe acne damages the deeper layers of the skin. As the acne heals, it leaves behind scars due to collagen loss or excess collagen formation. Proper scar diagnosis helps in selecting the best laser treatment.

  • Pitted scars (ice-pick, box scars, rolling scars)
  • Raised scars (hypertrophic scars)
  • Post-acne pigmentation marks
  • Uneven textured skin

Why Laser Treatment for Acne Scars?

Laser treatment stimulates collagen remodeling, smoothens the scar surface, and improves skin tone. It is considered one of the best treatments for long-term acne scar improvement.

  • Stimulates new collagen
  • Improves skin texture & tone
  • Reduces pitted scars depth
  • Reduces acne marks and pigmentation
Note: Acne scar improvement is gradual. Multiple sessions are needed for best results.
