Understanding Acne Scars: Why Laser Treatment Works

Acne scars develop when skin heals improperly after inflammation.

They can show as deep, textured scars or dark spots. While topical products may lighten pigmentation, laser resurfacing is the proven way to rebuild skin and smooth scars at a deeper level.

Laser Options at Benjamin Clinic

Fractional Pico Laser

A gentle, non-ablative laser that targets both surface and deep skin layers. It creates tiny skin injuries to boost collagen, smoothing acne scars, fine lines, and uneven texture.

Benefits:

• Smooths scars
• Evens skin tone
• Minimal downtime

CO2 CICU Laser

An ablative laser that removes damaged outer skin and heats deeper layers for strong skin regeneration—best for deep acne scars.

Benefits:

• Effective for deep scars
• Improves firmness

But, it requires 5–7 days downtime.

Secret Laser

Uses microneedles to break up pigment and resurface skin without heat damage, ideal for sensitive or darker skin.

Benefits:

• Targets pigmentation and redness
• Gentle for sensitive skin
• Pairs well with Fraxel for tough cases

What to Expect After Treatment

Downtime (depending on the laser used):

Fractional PICO - Redness and mild peeling for 3–5 days

CICU - More intensive peeling and redness for 5–7 days

Secret - Mild redness, usually resolves within 1–2 days

Benjamin Clinic's post-care treatment includes cooling and UV protection to assist in healing.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

• Most patients notice improvement after 1–2 sessions, (though 3–5 sessions may be recommended).
• Treatments are spaced 4–6 weeks apart to allow natural healing.
• During your consultation, Benjamin Clinic's dermatologists will create a personalized plan based on your skin and scar type.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will Fraxel work on all acne scars?

A: Fraxel is best for mild to moderate atrophic acne scars (like boxcar and rolling). For deeper scars, they may combine it with CO2 fractional laser or subcision techniques.

Q: Is laser treatment painful?

A: A topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand, depending on laser type. Most patients report a tolerable warm, prickly sensation during treatment.

Q: Can I combine different lasers?

A: Yes! At Benjamin Clinic, they often combine Secret+Fraxel or Fraxel+CO2 based on the scar type, pigment, and skin tone.

Q: Will my pigmentation get worse after laser?

A: With expert care and post-treatment skin protection, the risk of post-laser pigmentation is low. They also use cooling systems and gentle lasers like Secret to treat pigment-prone skin types.
