Depressed or raised acne scars holding you back? At Dermatology & Cosmetic Laser Center, the PicoSure® laser can help smooth and refresh your skin.
What Really Causes Acne Scars?
Acne scars form when inflamed breakouts damage deeper layers of skin. It’s not from “dirty skin”—it’s about bacteria, oil, and clogged pores. Severe or long-lasting acne can leave marks that don’t fade on their own.
Do You Know Your Type of Acne Scar?
Scars can be shallow, deep, wavy, or raised: ice pick, boxcar, rolling, atrophic, and keloid scars all look different. Knowing your type helps Dr. Koreen plan the best PicoSure® treatment for you.
How PicoSure® Laser Helps Fade Acne Scars
PicoSure® sends ultra-short bursts of energy into scarred skin, breaking scar tissue into tiny pieces your body can clear. It also stimulates new collagen and elastin for smoother, more even skin over time.
Fast, Gentle Treatment: What It Feels Like
PicoSure® sessions are quick—often about 10 minutes—and most patients feel only mild stinging. Pinkness usually fades within hours, and you can often wear makeup the next day. Numbing cream is available for comfort.
