Request an AppointmentWhat is acne?
Acne is an inflammatory skin condition that causes pimples, pocks, whiteheads, cysts, and blackheads on the face, shoulders, back, arms, and chest. It is the most common skin condition, affecting more than 50 million men, women, and teens.
What causes acne?
Overactive sebaceous glands can block hair follicles with oil and dead skin cells, which leads to blemishes. Hormonal changes increase oil production, so teenagers and women in menopause are especially prone to outbreaks. Lack of sleep, a poor diet, and stress can also trigger flare-ups.
What causes acne scars?
An inflamed lesion, such as a pustule or cyst, can leave a scar when it becomes clogged with bacteria, pus, and dead skin cells. When the lesion breaks down beneath the surface instead of at the top of the skin, it can damage the surrounding tissue and cause scarring.
How are acne scars treated?
Our nurses and estheticians use PicoSure® advanced laser technology to reduce and fade acne scars. The laser delivers light energy in picoseconds, a trillionth of a second, deep into your skin’s tissue and cells. This prompts your body to replace old scar tissue with new skin cells. If you are also interested in overall skin renewal, learn more about PicoSure laser skin rejuvenation. Some patients also explore microneedling to improve skin texture.
What results can you expect after acne scar reduction treatment?
A nurse or clinician meets with you first to analyze the condition of your skin and customize a treatment plan, so you know what to expect.
PicoSure treatments rejuvenate your skin. As new cells develop over time, your acne scars gradually subside and fade, leaving you with improved texture and tone.
What should I expect during a PicoSure acne scar reduction treatment?
The PicoSure laser delivers gentle pulses of light energy. The procedure causes only mild discomfort, and most patients tolerate it well. To ease any tingling, your esthetician applies a topical numbing ointment to the areas being treated.
There is no downtime with PicoSure acne scar reduction. You can return to work, school, or home right after your visit.
