Laser treatment targets the top layer of your skin where scar tissue has formed. The heat from the laser removes this layer, causing the scar to peel off. This process encourages the growth of new skin cells and improves blood flow, making the scars appear smaller and less noticeable.
What to expect during laser for acne scars?
During the procedure, a laser is applied to the scarred areas, creating a warm sensation. The treatment typically takes about 30-60 minutes, depending on the extent of the scarring.
