A very common source of frustration among both teenagers and adults, acne is a skin condition caused by overproduction of sebum. Even after pimples have cleared, signs of past breakouts may stick around in the form of acne scars. For those who are concerned about acne scars & looking to achieve smoother, more evenly toned skin, laser treatment for acne scars is an option to consider. Kessel Dermatology is proud to offer this breakthrough treatment at our office in Hamilton Square, NJ.

How Does Laser Treatment for Acne Scars Work?

As acne blemishes heal following a breakout, they may leave behind depressed or raised scars on the skin. There are several methods which might be used to improve the appearance of these marks, including excel V+™ laser therapy. Let’s explore how this laser treatment for acne scars can work to diminish the appearance of scars and reveal clearer, more youthful looking skin:

  • A long-pulsed green laser, the excel V+™ delivers two ultra-precise wavelengths which are highly effective at decreasing skin inflammation and breaking up disordered collagen in scars.
  • This laser treatment penetrates deep into the skin to stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin (a process called neocollagenesis) in problem areas. By promoting healthy new skin growth, it is proven to reduce the appearance of acne scars and other types of shallow, pitted scars.
  • The powerful laser energy from excel V+™ can also be used to target wrinkles & fine lines, as well as hyperpigmentation, rosacea and a number of other skin conditions.
