Effective Treatments for Acne Scars

fraxel acne scar treatmentWhether you’re a teenager or an adult, dealing with pimples and cysts can make you want to hide from the world. Even worse, once your acne has cleared, the permanent scars it often leaves behind can be frustrating and embarrassing reminders.

Dr. David Kang and Dr. Lisa Kang of Serenity MedSpa in San Francisco offer many effective treatments that can help you enjoy a smooth, unblemished complexion, whether you suffer from deep pockmarks or aggravated, red scars.

  • Clear & Brilliant Laser:  This new laser technology gently illuminates your complexion by improving skin tone and texture. It reduces pore size, acne scars and fine lines while lightening brown spots and sun damage. This laser is a wonderful choice for younger clients with minimal skin damage and for busy professionals that cannot afford significant downtime. Any redness following the treatment will dissipate within a few hours. Over the next few days the old, damaged skin will gently and subtly peel in a way that is not noticeable. Women can immediately wear make-up and resume their normal activities. With only a few Clear & Brilliant Laser treatments, you’ll enjoy more radiant, clear skin and the confidence that goes with it.
  • Fraxel Dual Laser:  This laser will accomplish all of the above, but is stronger and will provide more dramatic results with just one treatment. However, it also requires more downtime. Your skin will appear red for a few days and you will experience noticeable peeling for up to one week. This laser reinvigorates collagen production levels, making it a dream come true for clients with moderate acne scars. By helping to shed the scarred and damaged top layer of your skin, it reveals the new, beautiful layers underneath.
  • Ultrapulse Encore CO2 Laser:  If you’re serious about treating your acne scars, the Ultrapulse Encore laser offers gold-standard results. This laser significantly reduces acne scars, wrinkles and sun damage while tightening skin, all in a single treatment. This is the ideal choice for clients who don’t wish to undergo multiple sessions to see noticeable results. The downtime with this laser is about 1 week.
