5. Performing Acne Scar Laser Treatment
• Laser acne scar removal can be performed
under general anaesthesia, sedation or local
anaesthesia. The eyes are covered with
moistened gauze and protective goggles.
When laser resurfacing is performed for the
removal of acne scars, your dermatologist will
use a laser beam, which will destroy the
epidermal layer and heat the underlying
dermis.

6. • This will stimulate the fibroblasts to produce
new collagen fibres; the result of this will be
to make the skin appear smoother. In other
words, the laser destroys tissue, which then
repairs by producing new cells.
• This treatment is harsher than others, such as
microdermabrasion acne scars treatment, or
perhaps using an acne scar cream, so it will
take a few months to heal completely.

7. • For more superficial acne scars or for the
treatment of fine lines there are less intense
lasers available, called non-ablative lasers and
radio frequency devices.
• These treatments heat up the dermis, but
without causing any damage to the epidermis.
This is why the recovery time will be significantly
faster, however, the patient may need multiple
sessions to achieve optimal results.

8. Types of Lasers Used For Laser Acne
Scar Removal
• There are preferably two types of lasers being
used for treating and removing acne scars.
• Erbium laser is a precise wavelength laser.
When it contacts with the skin, the moisture
in the skin will absorbs it and the heat scatters
to surrounding healthy skin without damaging
it.

9. • As the laser can focus very accurately and also
can be reduced to a very small beam, there is
literally little discomfort experienced by the
patient and all the healthy skin will remain
intact.

10. • Another newer type of laser is the carbon dioxide
type. Not like the steady focused energy of
erbium laser, the CO2 laser sends out very short
bursts of highly intense laser beams which can
melt through skin a layer each time.
• Although the CO2 is a very precise laser, it is not
suitable for everyone because patients have to be
meet certain medical criteria before they can
undergo this procedure.
