Treatment Options for Acne Scarring

At Premier Dermatology Clinic, your dermatologists use advanced laser technology to remove acne scars, one layer at a time.

Laser therapy, such as pulsed dye or ablative fractional lasers, uses heat and light energy to penetrate your skin, fading away surface scarring and targeting scars in the deeper layers. This diminishes acne scars, leaving your skin looking clearer and smoother.

In addition to laser treatment, your dermatologists may recommend additional treatments to fade acne scars, including:

• Chemical peels to slough layers of skin, diminishing the appearance of scars
• Microneedling to promote collagen production and resurface skin
• Subcision to release tissue attaching the scars to deeper tissue layers
• Microdermabrasion gently removes surface skin and diminishes the appearance of scarring
