Acne Scar Treatment

Acne can leave changes in skin texture and color. Treatment planning begins by distinguishing those concerns.

Laser Treatment for Acne Scars and Discoloration

Acne scars are not all alike. Some change the surface of the skin, while others leave visible discoloration. A texture-focused laser approach can support collagen remodeling to improve the appearance of scarred skin over time. This differs from addressing residual red or dark pigment, so those concerns are assessed separately. Our LUSTRELOOK medical team considers the type and depth of scarring, surrounding skin and any active acne before discussing the treatment method.

BEFORE TREATMENT

Understand the Proposed Plan

Discuss pitted, raised or sunken acne scars and lingering red or dark marks with our LUSTRELOOK medical team. The team can review the scar and surrounding skin before explaining which laser approach may be appropriate.

Consultation and Preparation

Our LUSTRELOOK medical team reviews the treatment area, skin type, treatment history, and your goals. Share your medicines, skincare products and any recent sun exposure. Follow the preparation instructions for your treatment; do not stop prescribed medicines without your prescriber's guidance.

Your Treatment

Our LUSTRELOOK medical team will look at the scar pattern, how deep or raised the areas are, the skin around them and your goals. Laser treatment can be part of a plan to improve the appearance of acne scarring, but it cannot promise to erase every scar. Discuss the expected treatment course and realistic limitations with our LUSTRELOOK medical team before treatment. Protective eyewear and treatment-specific comfort measures are discussed before the procedure.

Care After Your Visit

Follow the instructions for cleansing, skincare and sun protection, including SPF 50 on treated skin before and after treatments. Redness, swelling, discomfort or pigment changes can occur, with recovery depending on the procedure and your skin. Our LUSTRELOOK medical team can explain what to expect and when to contact the practice.

Results and Follow-Up

Treatments are typically spaced approximately six weeks apart. The number of treatments depends on the scar’s type, depth, color, location and healing response. Our LUSTRELOOK medical team will review the area and explain the proposed course and realistic expectations. Discuss your recommended treatment course and the time between sessions during your consultation.

YOUR QUESTIONS

Questions About Acne Scars

Use these answers to prepare for an individual conversation, not to replace an assessment.

Is This for Active Acne?

This page focuses on the scars and discoloration acne can leave behind. Our LUSTRELOOK medical team can discuss the condition of your skin and whether a different concern should be addressed first.

Can Different Scar Types Need Different Treatment?

Yes. Pitted, raised and discolored areas are different concerns. An assessment by our LUSTRELOOK medical team determines what laser approach, if any, makes sense for each.

Will the Scars Disappear Completely?

Complete scar removal cannot be guaranteed. Discuss the likely improvement and limitations for your scar type with our LUSTRELOOK medical team.

Our Approach to Treatment Suitability

At LUSTRELOOK, we take a selective approach to laser treatments based on our clinical experience and commitment to appropriate patient care.

For treatments addressing pigmentation and hyperpigmentation, our practice does not offer laser treatment for melasma or Fitzpatrick skin types V–VI. This reflects our practice's treatment approach and is not a statement that these conditions or skin types cannot be treated with laser technology elsewhere.

We encourage patients to consult a qualified medical professional to explore suitable treatment options.
