Acne Scar Treatment
Fast Acting and Long Lasting

This fast acting laser light procedure effectively targets and shrinks oil glands - the source of acne outbreaks that can lead to acne scarring. Benefits include:
  • Shrinks sebaceous gland to reduce acne outbreaks

  • Stimulates and regenerates collagen which allows acne to disappear and scars to become smoother

  • Safe on all skin types including tanned and dark-skinned patients

  • Quick in-office procedure with lasting results

  • No downtime, resume regular activities immediately
What does a treatment feel like?
CoolBreeze treatments can be performed on any area of the skin. The laser energy feels warm to the skin, almost tingling. Depending on the severity of your condition a cooling mist may be used for comfort.

How long does a treatment take?
Treatments take 10-30 minutes, depending on the area to be treated and the severity of the condition.

How will you look after the treatment?
You may experience mild redness in the treated area for a short period of time following the procedure. There's no downtime, so you can resume regular activities immediately after the treatment-and even apply makeup, if desired.

What improvement will I see?
You will notice significant reduction of acne and improvised appearance of acne scars. Results are achieved through a series of treatments, and follow-up visits may be required to prolong your improvements.

How many treatments will you need?
Typically, it takes more than one treatment to achieve the optimum level of improvement. On average, patients receive 3-6 treatments at monthly intervals.

I have darker skin, is the CoolTouch laser right for me?
Unlike some lasers who wavelengths are not appropriate for darker skin, the CoolTouch laser uses a 1320 nanometer or mid-infrared light which targets water in the skin, not melanin. This means the laser will safely treat any skin color without causing pigmentary or color changes to your natural skin tone.
