How Laser for Acne Scars Works

Laser for acne scars uses a strong laser light that produces heat and removes the top layer of skin. By doing this, it reveals the smoother skin underneath. In addition, the heat stimulates new skin growth and healing. Collagen and elastin fibers will increase naturally and leave your skin smoother and younger looking.

Patients may expect to have:

• Swelling that should go down in 1-2 days
• Redness that may take up to 10 days to disappear
• Pain at the site of treatment that will only last an hour or two

Laser for Acne Scars Precautions

While cosmetic laser is safe and non-invasive, Dr. Bryant will ask you to take some precautions:

• Discontinue taking any aspirin, blood thinners, or anti-inflammatory medications a few days prior to the procedure
• Do not smoke 2 weeks prior
• Avoid using any creams with retinol at least 2 weeks prior to your appointment
• Acne medications may need to be stopped but the doctor will advise you based on your particular situation

Patient will be advised to use only oil-free make-up for about 3 months after the procedure. Additionally, use a moisturizer daily, and avoid sun exposure. As always, use of a high SPF sunblock is recommended. You should not use a tanning bed for about 6-8 weeks.
