Can Fractional Laser Really Get Rid of Deep Acne Scars?

Latest Fractional Laser Effectiveness on Deep Acne Scars

Let’s be honest—acne scars can be a total confidence killer. You finally get rid of the breakouts, only to be left with stubborn scars that refuse to budge. But don’t worry, you’re not stuck with them forever! Fractional laser resurfacing is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment for acne scarring that works by delivering microscopic laser beams into the skin. These beams create controlled micro-injuries, stimulating collagen production and skin regeneration. Unlike traditional ablative lasers, fractional laser targets only a fraction of the skin at a time, allowing for faster healing while significantly improving texture and tone. Here at The Laser Clinic Morpeth, our fractional laser treatments are here to help smooth things out and give you the glowing skin you deserve.

So, How Does Fractional Laser Work?

Think of fractional laser like a tiny, high-tech magic wand for your skin. It sends super-focused laser beams into the deeper layers, kickstarting your skin’s natural healing process. This helps to:

  • Break down old scar tissue and make way for fresh, healthy skin
  • Smooth out those annoying bumps and dents
  • Even out your skin tone and reduce redness
  • Stimulating natural collagen production for long-term skin repair (the secret ingredient to plump, youthful skin!

Does It Actually Work on Deep Acne Scars?

Short answer: Yes! Fractional laser is one of the best treatments out there for boxcar, rolling, and ice-pick scars—the deep ones that feel impossible to fix. While it might not make them disappear overnight, it seriously reduces their appearance, leaving your skin looking smoother and fresher. Many of our clients have seen a huge difference after just a few sessions!

How Many Sessions Do You Need?

Like most answers in skincare advice it depends on your own personal circumstances and needs but on average even those with deep scars most people see the best results after 3 to 6 treatments, spaced about a month apart. The best part? Your skin keeps improving for months after each session as collagen continues to work its magic.

What’s the Treatment Like?

Honestly, it’s pretty straightforward! You might feel a warm, tingling sensation during the treatment, but it’s totally manageable. Afterward, your skin might be a little red and puffy (you may seem a little flushed), but this settles down in day or so. Once the healing kicks in, you’ll start to notice that fresh, new glow coming through. Then you can start to get really excited to start seeing that beautiful complexion you have dreamed of for so long.
