Pico laser is effective in treating both shallow and deep acne scars.
This is the latest non-ablative laser that is able to target acne scars with more precision and safety, resulting in shorter recovery time. Pico laser delivers ultra-short pulses of energy that shatters pigmented and damaged cells to make it easier for the body to flush out the shattered particles. The treatment is proven to be one of the safest laser treatments as it has the least damage to the surrounding tissues.
Pulse-dye lasers
Pulse-dye lasers are useful in reducing the redness associated with acne marks/ post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation and have minimal downtime. The treatment uses a concentrated beam of light to target blood vessels in the skin. The light transmitted into the skin is converted into heat, which then destroys the blood vessel without damaging the surrounding area.
As you can see, there are MANY types of laser treatments for removing acne scars. Hence, it is best to consult with your acne scar doctor to understand which laser treatments are the most suitable for your scars and skin condition.
