Confidence physicians have researched different ablative and non-ablative lasers over the years to clear up acne scars from patients’ skin.
One of the most popular systems currently available to physicians is the fractional laser. When Confidence physicians use the laser, pulses of light penetrate the top layers of skin and break down scar tissue beneath the surface. The body’s natural healing response stimulates the production of collagen and restores elasticity. Acne scars are broken down at the molecular level and flushed out of the body over the next 2-4 months.
Unlike laser skin resurfacing (ablative lasers), which completely burn off the top layer of skin and requires actual downtime, the Ultra laser is targeting tissues below the surface, so the healing process and accompanying risks inherent to other laser treatments are non-existent. Some light redness and swelling are typical, but the underlying skin will rejuvenate and start regrowing within 4-5 days. Patients experience little to no downtime with these acne scars laser technology.
