Acne scarring is a very common problem for a majority of us. It always stays as a threat to our beautiful face. Some of the scars will eventually fade where some do not. Don't worry, acne scars can be treated.
When the pores on your skin are blocked with oil, bacteria, dead skin cells and dirt you may develop a pimple or a zit. The pimple when poped will spill out the infected material and destroy the healthy skin tissue and this leads to the formation of acne scars.
The outer layer of skin is removed during ablative laser treatment. The treatment can give you amazing improvement within a single session. The procedure is carried out with Carbon dioxide laser and the erbium laser.
Procedure:
Non-ablative laser for acne scars
Here the laser emits light deep into the lower layers of the skin without any impact on the skin's surface. It helps to improve dark spots, scars and wrinkles on the skin.
