Acne scar laser treatment at NOE clinics in Hamburg

Against acne scars

Smoothing acne scars with PicoLaser or CO2 laser

Acne scars form when deep inflammations alter the connective tissue and small pits or bumps remain. We treat them with two lasers. The PicoLaser delivers targeted pulses into the skin and triggers a remodeling process in which new collagen is produced and the surface becomes smoother. The fractional CO2 laser ablates the skin in tiny points in a controlled manner and stimulates collagen formation underneath; it acts more intensively and requires more downtime. Which approach suits your scars will be discussed in the medical consultation. Because scar tissue needs time to remodel, we plan several sessions. We treat fresh, inflamed acne differently first. Another option for acne scars is RF-Microneedling , which combines fine needles with deep heat. For uneven discoloration after acne, additional help comes from Skin Brightening.

Scope of application of the acne scar laser treatment at NOE clinics

Why get laser treatment for acne scars?

Acne scars are a long-lasting reminder of a time that has long since passed and can hardly be smoothed out with skin care alone. PicoLaser and CO2 lasers work in the scar tissue and stimulate the skin to restructure itself. The PicoLaser requires little downtime, while the CO2 laser works more intensively and requires more recovery time. Because the remodeling takes time, we plan several sessions and observe how the skin reacts after each one. It is important that active acne calms down first. In the medical advice we assess the type of scarring and the condition of the skin and determine which laser is right for you.
