Laser treatment for acne scars aims to minimize the appearance of scars from old acne outbreaks. While scars are harmless and don’t need to be treated medically, they can have a huge impact on your self-confidence, self-esteem, and mood. They can also be a sad reminder of your acne troubles, which you may not want to put up with.
Laser treatment for acne scars focuses light on the top layers of your skin to break up scar tissue. At the same time, the treatment encourages new, healthy skin cells to grow and replace the scar tissue. While this treatment doesn’t completely remove acne scars, it can reduce their appearance and also minimize pain caused by them.
