Laser Treatment for Surgical and Acne Scars

Laser Treatment for Surgical and Acne Scars typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area and the depth of the scars. The procedure is performed comfortably in-office, and most patients can return to their normal activities shortly after the session.

Patients can expect gradual improvements in the appearance of surgical and acne scars as the skin begins to regenerate and produce new collagen. Early changes may be noticed within a few weeks, with continued improvement developing over 4 to 12 weeks following each session. Multiple treatments may be recommended to achieve optimal, long-lasting results.

Improvements from laser treatment for surgical and acne scars are long-lasting, as the skin continues to rebuild collagen over time. While scars do not completely return once improved, natural aging and lifestyle factors may affect skin quality in the future. Following proper skincare recommendations and maintenance treatments can help preserve results for years.

Laser treatment for surgical and acne scars may not be suitable for individuals who are pregnant, have active skin infections, open wounds, or inflammatory skin conditions in the treatment area. Patients with very dark or recently tanned skin, photosensitivity disorders, or those taking medications that increase sensitivity to light should consult with a provider before treatment. A personalized consultation at Laria Med Spa is essential to determine if this procedure is safe and appropriate for your skin.

Laser treatment for surgical and acne scars pairs well with complementary services that enhance skin renewal and overall texture, such as medical-grade facials, microneedling, and skin resurfacing treatments. These combinations can further stimulate collagen production, improve skin tone, and help maintain smoother, more refined results over time.
