Ready to discover the best treatments for acne scars? Take a look:

Fraxel Dual: The Fraxel Dual Laser treats the top layers of the dermis to eliminate most complexion woes, including acne scars. The Fraxel Dual laser works by creating tiny wounds in the skin to trigger the body’s collagen-production processes. With consistent treatments, clients will see a noticeable improvement in acne scars, as well as hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. Fraxel Dual is great for patients of all skin tones and types!

Microneedling: Much like with the Fraxel Dual laser, microneedling uses a handheld device to create small puncture wounds in the top layers of the dermis. The body responds by creating excess collagen to heal the wounds; as a result, skin turnover is much faster than usual. Within a few months, acne scars will be a thing of the past! Microneedling is also an excellent solution for clients with other facial scarring, including those as a result of an injury.

Clear + Brilliant: The Clear + Brilliant laser treatment minimizes the appearance of acne scars without requiring significant downtime or recovery. The Clear + Brilliant laser treats facial scarring on the top layer of the dermis, all while minimizing pores and improving skin elasticity. Most clients need 4 to 6 treatments to see an improvement in acne scarring.

Chemical Peels: Chemical peels use a combination of acids are applied directly to the surface of the skin to remove the top dermis layers. There is downtime associated with this procedure, as there’s redness and flaking for the first few weeks after the procedure. Clients should be completely done with acne breakouts before undergoing a chemical peel.
