Smooth, Clear Skin with Aerolase Neo Elite
At CGO Med Aesthetics, we offer Aerolase laser treatment for acne scars, a safe, non-invasive solution that reduces the appearance of scars and improves skin texture. Using advanced 650-microsecond laser technology, Aerolase stimulates collagen and targets the causes of lingering marks, helping patients in San Diego, CA diminish both old and new acne scars for clearer, smoother skin.
Understanding Acne Scars
Acne scars form when inflamed breakouts damage the skin and its collagen during healing. Some scars are indented, such as ice pick, boxcar, and rolling scars, while others leave behind raised tissue or flat dark marks known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Because each scar type responds differently, an effective plan often combines more than one technology.
How Aerolase Treats Acne Scars
The Aerolase Neo Elite delivers energy deep into the skin in an ultra-short pulse, stimulating collagen remodeling to soften scar edges while also reducing redness and pigmentation left behind by breakouts. It can even help calm active acne, reducing the chance of new scars forming. Treatment is comfortable, safe for all skin types, and requires no downtime.
Conditions Treated
Aerolase acne scar treatment can help with:
- Post-Acne Scars: Reduces raised, pitted, or textured scars from past breakouts.
- Hyperpigmentation: Lightens dark spots and uneven tone left by acne.
- Uneven Skin Texture: Smooths rough, bumpy skin.
- Enlarged Pores: Improves the look of large pores for a smoother surface.
