Laser treatment is an effective option for improving the appearance of acne scars. Its efficacy depends on the type of scars, skin type, and the laser technology used. Here's an overview of its effectiveness.
1. Types of Acne Scars Addressed - Laser treatments can improve:- Atrophic scars (depressed scars, e.g., boxcar, rolling, or ice-pick scars), Hypertrophic scars (raised scars).
2. Types of Laser Treatments - Ablative Lasers (e.g., CO2, Er:YAG):- Remove the outer layers of damaged skin.Stimulate collagen production in the underlying layers.Highly effective for deeper scars but requires longer downtime.
3. Expected Outcomes - Laser treatments can reduce scar depth and discoloration, making scars less noticeable.Many patients experience smoother, more even skin texture.Typically, a series of 3–6 sessions is required for optimal results.
4. Benefits - Non-invasive or minimally invasive.Minimal discomfort (depending on the type of laser).Little to no downtime (for non-ablative lasers).
5. Potential Risks - Temporary redness, swelling, or peeling.Risk of pigmentation changes, especially for darker skin tones.Rarely, scarring or infection may occur.
Consult a dermatologist or aesthetic professional in Singapore** for a customized assessment, as they can recommend the best laser treatment based on your skin and scar type.
