Acne discoloration and scarring is an unpleasant reminder that remains after inflammation on the skin. These lesions, unfortunately, look unsightly and are difficult to camouflage, such as with makeup. Fortunately, aesthetic medicine today offers very effective laser removal of acne scars. Let’s find out exactly what it consists of.
Acne scars vs. hyperpigmentation
Acne hyperpigmentation is the spots that form on the skin affected by the inflammation. They take on a pink or brown color. Discoloration usually disappears on its own, but it is a very long process (it can take up to a year). Larger and resistant blemishes can be effectively removed, such as with peels, lasers or microdermabrasion.
Acne scars are more serious lesions that can vary in size and depth, depending on how large the skin lesion was. To eliminate them, you need to bring about skin regeneration. An excellent method of scar removal is the procedure performed with the Emerge laser.
Laser removal of acne scars with Emerge laser
The Emerge laser produces beams of light that penetrate the skin to a depth of 1.5 mm and precisely act on its damaged cells. The microscopic damage caused by the laser light thus starts natural repair processes in the skin. As a result, new, regenerated tissue gradually appears. The laser also stimulates the production of collagen, which is responsible for elasticity and hydration in the skin.
What does the laser scar removal procedure look like?
The procedure is painless and, importantly, very safe for the patient. First, the skin must be cleaned, and then the laser head is applied to the patient’s skin. The microbeams of light penetrate the skin and affect the skin lesions, which are then replaced with new, regenerated tissue.
Effects after treatment
The skin’s unevenness, any furrows and dimples, become smoothed, and acne scars are visibly shallowed. The final results of the Emerge laser scar removal procedure are visible after 3-6 months. Cellular renewal of skin tissues then takes place. For complete scar removal, the procedure should be repeated 3 to 6 times.
Advantages of Emerge laser treatment
Treatments performed with the Emerge laser are very safe and non-invasive. They allow the effective removal of acne scars, as well as other skin imperfections. The skin is stimulated to regenerate naturally, making it look younger and significantly improving its condition.
Contraindications to the procedure:
- Active bacterial and viral infections,
- skin inflammations,
- herpes,
- cancer,

- disruption of the continuity of the skin at the site of treatment,
