Techniques Used To Minimize Acne Scarring: Laser Treatments

For acne treatment, Pittsburgh based spas offer a variety of light-based treatments that take care of acne scarring. For more severe scarring, our dermatologist and plastic surgeon can utilize a non ablative laser called ProFractional. ProFractional can help resurface the skin by creating microscopic wounds that reveal smoother skin in as little as two or three treatments. The treatment is relatively easy for patients due to the quick recovery time.

Patients are happy because clinical improvement is typically evident within a few sessions. Other non-ablative lasers like Laser Genesis can also be effective for minimizing the appearance of scarring by boosting collagen production within the skin, resulting in a more even complexion after a series of treatments. The number of scars and severity will dictate the type of treatment used.
