Acne Scar Laser Treatment REJUVA Dermatology in Venice, FL

What is Acne Scar Laser Treatment?

For many people, acne scars feel like a constant reminder of breakouts that are long gone. Makeup may not fully cover them, and over-the-counter products rarely deliver the smoothing and brightening they promise. At our practice, we take a different approach, one that feels both thoughtful and results-driven.

Acne scar laser treatment is a customized plan designed just for you. It may include advanced resurfacing lasers, RF microneedling, subcision, or dermal fillers. Each technique works in harmony to release tethered scars, stimulate natural collagen renewal, and soften uneven texture. The result is not just smoother skin, but skin that looks healthier, more even, and more confident.

Who is the Best Candidate for This Treatment?

If you’ve tried countless creams, peels, or facials and still see scars in the mirror, you are not alone. This treatment is ideal for anyone with boxcar, rolling, or ice-pick scars that haven’t improved with traditional skincare.

Many of our patients are in their 30s, 40s, and beyond, when scars often feel more noticeable as the skin naturally loses firmness. The beauty of our approach is that it’s never one-size-fits-all. We design a plan that’s matched to your unique skin needs, ensuring results that look natural and refined.

What is the Downtime?

We know busy lives don’t pause for long recoveries. That’s why we tailor the intensity of your treatment to your lifestyle. Some patients need just 2–3 days of social downtime, while more intensive treatments may require up to a week. Either way, most people find the short recovery well worth the long-term improvements in their skin’s appearance and confidence.

How Long Do Results Last?

Unlike quick fixes, this treatment stimulates your body’s own healing and collagen production, which means results build gradually and last. Many patients see a visible difference after the first session, with smoother skin and improved tone developing over several months. With a proper skincare routine and sun protection, these improvements are long-lasting.

Side Effects

Most side effects are mild and temporary, things like redness, slight swelling, or pinpoint bruising that resolve in just a few days. Rarely, there may be temporary pigment changes, which we monitor closely. Our team will guide you every step of the way, so you always feel comfortable and cared for.

When Can I Resume Normal Activities?

Most patients return to work or daily activities within 2–3 days. If you have an event or social plans, we’ll help you schedule your sessions at the right time so your skin looks its best.

Boosters

For those looking to maximize results, we often recommend adding PRP/PRFM (platelet-rich plasma/platelet-rich fibrin matrix) or stem cell exosomes to treatments. These boosters use your body’s natural growth factors, or advanced regenerative science, to accelerate healing, enhance collagen regrowth, and refine texture even more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will acne scar laser treatment remove scars completely?

While no treatment can erase scars, laser therapy can dramatically reduce their appearance. By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, it helps smooth uneven texture and improve tone, giving your skin a more refined and even look over time.

Is acne scar laser treatment painful?

Comfort is always a priority. A topical numbing cream is used before the procedure, and most patients report the sensation as mild warmth or light prickling. The experience is very tolerable and well worth the results.

Can acne scar laser treatment target active acne?

For the best outcome, we recommend completing active acne treatment first. Once breakouts are under control, laser therapy can safely and effectively address the scars and discoloration left behind.

When will I see the results of acne scar laser treatment?

Initial improvements often appear within a few weeks as your skin begins to rebuild new collagen. Over the following months, you’ll notice continued refinement in texture and tone with each session.

Can fillers help scars?

Yes. Dermal fillers can be a great complement to laser treatments by lifting depressed scars and improving skin smoothness. This combination approach provides more balanced, natural-looking results.

How many acne scar laser treatments will I need?

Most individuals achieve optimal improvement with a series of 3-6 treatments, spaced several weeks apart. The exact number will be based on your skin type, scar depth, and treatment goals.

Can acne scar laser treatment target dark marks too?

Yes, lasers and peels can also target discoloration and uneven tone, complementing your scar treatment.

Is acne scar laser treatment safe for my skin type?

Yes. Every protocol is carefully personalized to your skin type and tone to ensure safety and beautiful results.
