We offer several effective laser treatment for acne scars.  PicoSure FOCUS, Carbon Laser Facial, and the new Potenza RF Microneedling.

PICOSURE LASER TREATMENT FOR ACNE SCARS

PicoSure is the only laser treatment approved by the FDA for treating acne scars. 

Acne scars are particulary hard to reduce or remove.  Acne scars can be raised, discoloured marks or have indentations like ice pick scars. The PicoSure laser treatment for acne scars works in two ways. First, the laser penetrates the skin creating thermal damage.  The thermal damage creates new collagen and elastin.  Second, PicoSure has a unique method of delivering laser energy in short bursts. These energy bursts break apart the scar tissue into microscopic pieces, which your body reabsorbs and expelled.

CARBON LASER TREATMENT FOR ACNE SCARS

Carbon Laser Facial is a no-downtime procedure that helps rejuvenate the appearance of aging or damaged skin. This gentle procedure is safe on most skin types and is a great way to get a quick skin refresher without the longer downtime associated with other laser procedures. It evens skin tone by reducing appearance of pigment, fine lines and acne scars. Your skin will feel and look younger!

What is PicoSure Laser for Acne Scars

PicoSure Laser for acne scars is the only FDA approved laser. PicoSure’s Focus Lens is hexagonal, closed packed diffractive lens array which is 500μm centre to centre. Because more energy is concentrated into the small spot, it makes it 20x more powerful than normal lens.

By delivering short bursts of picosecond energy (laser pulses that are 10 times shorter in duration than a traditional Q-switched laser) more laser shots can be delivered with each pulse staying on the skin for a shorter duration. The benefit of this is that less heat is generated in the skin, causing significantly less damage to the skin tissue.

Through its targeted mode of energy delivery, the PicoSure laser is able to reach the dermis layer, improving acne scars with the formation of new collagen and elastin production.

The Picosure’s 755nm Alexandrite wavelength is an excellent balance between the 532nm and 1064nm. It can selectively target the melanin and blood vessels without hurting the skin from high thermal damage.

Expect Dramatic Results with Carbon Laser Facial

The laser energy works in two ways, first it gently targets the melanin (pigmentation) in the cells breaking it up for your body’s natural removal processes, and second it heats deep dermis causing the skin to contract and stimulate collagen. Because the treatment is gentle, multiple passes are needed in order to obtain optimal results.  Laser energy lightly removes Carbon Laser Lotion, heating dermis and lightly ablating the top layer of dead skin. The laser energy breaks up pigment, which is then carried away by your body, and heats the skin causing the skin to contract while at the same time stimulating the building of collagen.

What is the Carbon Laser Facial?

The Carbon Laser Facial is a revolutionary type of treatment for the face which leaves the skin softer, smoother, and firmer. It is a non-invasive procedure which is sometimes called the charcoal peel, charcoal facial or the china doll facial. This is simply because this treatment has been made famous by Asian celebrities and the fact that it is extremely popular all across Asia. What is particularly amazing about this treatment is the fact that it shrinks enlarged pores, promotes a smooth complexion, and enhances the skin’s radiance in general.   Laser energy lightly removes Carbon Laser Lotion, heating dermis and lightly ablating the top layer of dead skin. The laser energy breaks up pigment, which is then carried away by your body, and heats the skin causing the skin to contract while at the same time stimulating the building of collagen.
