Acne Scar Treatment NYC

Acne may be in the past, but the scars it leaves behind can linger long after the breakouts are gone. At Leong Facial Plastic Surgery, we offer advanced, effective treatments that help reduce the appearance of acne scars and restore smooth, youthful skin.

The Solution to Acne Scarring: Say Goodbye to the Marks of the Past

Acne scars can be a constant reminder of past struggles, affecting both self-esteem and confidence. Whether you’re in your teens or twenties or dealing with scars from past acne, the impact of these imperfections can be emotional. Thankfully, there are options to reduce their appearance. At Leong Facial Plastic Surgery, we offer advanced laser resurfacing treatments, such as the Cortex™ Fractional CO2 and Erbium/Yag Lasers, that target acne scars and promote smoother, clearer skin.

The Power of Laser Resurfacing for Acne Scars

While many patients start by looking for over-the-counter creams or at-home remedies to reduce acne scarring, the results can often be underwhelming. Treatments like microdermabrasion or topical creams may offer limited improvement, but for more significant scar reduction, laser resurfacing is the most effective solution.

Laser treatment offers a targeted approach that treats scarred tissue and promotes healthy skin regeneration. At Leong Facial Plastic Surgery, we use advanced lasers, including the Cortex™ Fractional CO2 and Erbium/Yag Laser, which offer real, visible improvements in skin texture and scarring with minimal downtime.

Why Choose the Cortex™ Fractional CO2 and Erbium/Yag Laser for Acne Scarring?

Our Cortex™ Fractional CO2 and Erbium/Yag Lasers are designed to rejuvenate the skin by stimulating collagen production and promoting the natural healing process. The Fractional CO2 laser is ideal for deeper resurfacing, while the Erbium/Yag laser focuses on superficial skin rejuvenation. Together, they provide a comprehensive solution for acne scarring. This combination approach offers several advantages:

Deep penetration and surface treatment: The Fractional CO2 laser targets deeper layers of the skin to improve texture and reduce scarring, while the Erbium/Yag laser works on more superficial issues like fine lines and surface imperfections.
Precision and healing: The lasers use microthermal zones to target damaged skin, leaving surrounding tissue unaffected, which speeds up recovery and reduces downtime.
Long-lasting results: Once your acne scars are improved, unless further acne breakouts occur, the results can be long-lasting.

Dr. Leong and our skilled team take pride in customizing each treatment to suit your specific needs, ensuring optimal results while maintaining a manageable recovery period.

What to Expect During Your Acne Scar Treatment

On the day of your treatment, a numbing cream with lidocaine will be applied to the treatment area to ensure maximum comfort. After 30-40 minutes, the cream will be absorbed, and the laser treatment will begin.

Depending on your individual concerns, Dr. Leong may use a combination of the Fractional CO2 and Erbium/Yag lasers. Treatment typically lasts between 20 minutes to an hour, depending on the number of areas being treated. During the procedure, you may feel a mild sensation of warmth or slight stinging, which can be managed with the numbing cream.
