Transform Your Skin: Laser Treatments for Acne Scars
Laser Treatments for Acne Scars: A Complete Guide to Clearer Skin
If acne scars are getting in the way of your confidence, it might be time to give laser treatments a shot. Whether you’re dealing with stubborn, lingering scars or just want smoother, more radiant skin, advanced lasers like HALO, MOXI®, and BBL® HERO™ can help turn back the clock on past breakouts.
These treatments aren’t just about clearing up your skin; they’re about giving you the confidence to feel beautiful in your own skin. We’re here to guide you through everything you need to know, including how these lasers target acne scarring, how many sessions it takes to see results, and what you can expect along the way. It’s time to love the skin you’re in — clearer, smoother, and full of confidence.
How Laser Treatments Help With Acne Scars
Laser treatments target the scarred tissue beneath your skin’s surface, encouraging your body’s natural healing process to restore smoother, more even skin. The energy from the lasers penetrates deep into the skin cells, stimulating collagen production — the key to skin rejuvenation. As collagen rebuilds, it helps fill in and soften the scar tissue, improving the overall texture and appearance of your skin.
Think of laser resurfacing as a way to give your skin a fresh start. Using advanced lasers, this treatment precisely targets areas of concern — like acne scars, uneven skin texture, and hyperpigmentation — leaving surrounding tissue unharmed. The process promotes healing with minimal downtime, gradually smoothing out scars and improving skin tone. As collagen production is stimulated, your skin becomes healthier and more even, revealing a more radiant complexion.
With innovative options like MOXI® and HALO, laser treatments aren’t just about correcting existing concerns — they’re also a smart way to prevent future skin issues. Whether you want to target stubborn scars or maintain a youthful glow, lasers offer a powerful, customizable solution to help you love the skin you’re in.

Treatment Areas
One of the best things about laser treatments is their versatility. Lasers can be used in a variety of zones to help treat acne scars, including:
- Face: The most popular treatment area! Lasers help reduce acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and uneven skin tone, leaving you with a smoother, more radiant complexion.
- Neck & Chest: These areas are especially prone to sun damage, pigmentation, and early signs of aging. Laser treatments can restore a more even skin tone and improve overall texture.
- Back: If you’ve struggled with back acne (a.k.a. "bacne") and are left with scars, lasers can help refine the skin for a clearer, smoother look.
- Hands: Over time, dark spots and loss of firmness can make hands appear aged. Laser treatments help even out skin tone and boost collagen for a more youthful appearance.
- Arms & Legs: Sun spots, pigmentation, and rough texture are common concerns for these areas. Laser treatments can help smooth and brighten the skin for a more uniform look.
- Other Areas: Lasers can be customized for additional treatment areas based on your skincare needs. A consultation with a specialist will help determine the best approach for your skin
Types of Laser Treatments for Acne Scars
Each cosmetic treatment at VITRA Aesthetics is designed to target specific skin conditions and concerns, allowing you to achieve smoother, clearer skin wherever you need it.
HALO
HALO laser skin resurfacing combines the best of both worlds: ablative and non-ablative modalities, delivering rejuvenating energy in a fractional, grid-like pattern. Instead of removing the entire outer layer, HALO targets small areas, promoting healing and preserving healthy tissue.
The result? Faster rejuvenation and visibly smoother, more youthful skin. It’s an ideal treatment for improving skin texture, reducing the appearance of acne scars, and addressing pigmentation irregularities — all while keeping your skin intact for quicker healing.
BBL® HERO™
BBL® HERO™ (BroadBand Light High Energy Rapid Output) is a powerful treatment designed to correct pigmentation issues such as freckles, age spots, and cherry angiomas. Unlike traditional lasers, it uses intense pulsed light (IPL) to penetrate deep into the skin, stimulating collagen production and supporting natural skin renewal.
In addition to improving skin tone, BBL® HERO™ is highly effective for treating skin laxity and reducing facial redness caused by rosacea, helping you achieve a clearer, more even complexion.
BBL® HERO™ also helps treat active acne breakouts and is even capable of removing unwanted hair from almost anywhere on the body. Whether you're looking to reduce pigmentation or smooth out uneven texture, BBL® HERO™ works wonders.
MOXI®
MOXI® is a non-ablative laser that focuses on preventive skin care — also known as "prejuvenation." Unlike ablative lasers that remove the skin’s top layer, MOXI® laser therapy gently passes through the skin’s surface, leaving it intact. This makes it an excellent treatment for maintaining youthful skin and preventing future damage, while also addressing concerns like sun spots and uneven skin tone.
It’s a go-to choice for those seeking a subtle, effective treatment without any necessary downtime, helping to protect the skin from the long-term effects of sun exposure while keeping it radiant.
Benefits of Laser Acne Scar Treatment
Laser acne scar treatments are a highly effective way to improve your skin's texture, reduce discoloration, and promote long-lasting results. Here are the key benefits of laser treatments for acne scars:
- Treats All Types of Acne Scars: Effectively targets rolling scars, boxcar scars, atrophic scars, hypertrophic scars, and deep acne scars for smoother, more radiant skin.
- Improved Skin Texture: Fractional lasers (Fraxel) stimulate collagen production, helping to smooth out uneven skin texture and fill in scars, creating a more even and youthful appearance.
- Reduced Discoloration: Laser treatments target pigmentation issues, like redness from active acne or dark spots from healed acne, helping to restore a balanced, uniform skin tone.
- Long-Lasting Results: With minimal downtime, laser acne scar treatments provide lasting results, improving your skin’s appearance over time with fewer sessions needed for maintenance.
- Minimal Risk of Side Effects: Laser acne scar treatments are generally safe, with side effects like mild redness or swelling typically subsiding within a few hours to days.
- Non-Invasive: These treatments are non-invasive, providing effective results without the need for surgery or extensive recovery time.
- Boosted Confidence: With clearer, smoother skin, you’ll feel more confident and comfortable in your own skin, embracing your natural beauty and enjoying your complexion at its healthiest and most radiant.
What To Expect During and After Laser Treatment
Before the procedure, a topical numbing cream is typically applied to minimize discomfort, and the area is cleaned thoroughly. During the treatment, the laser is applied to the targeted area in a series of passes. Depending on the type of laser, the treatment may use fractional laser technology or other targeted methods to address scarring.
The session typically lasts between 20 and 45 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. Most patients report mild discomfort during the treatment, similar to a slight stinging or warm sensation.
Immediately after the treatment, you may experience redness, swelling, and sensitivity. These effects usually settle within a few hours to a couple of days, depending on the intensity of the treatment.
You may notice slight peeling, flaking, or dryness as your skin heals, which is completely normal. Full recovery typically takes about 5 to 7 days, though the final results may take a few weeks to become fully visible as collagen continues to regenerate beneath the skin's surface.
After treatment, proper aftercare is essential. Keep your skin moisturized with gentle, non-irritating skin care products, and protect it from the sun by applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. A follow-up appointment may be recommended to assess your progress and make sure you’re on track for optimal results.
Choose the Right Laser Treatment
Choosing the right laser treatment can help you achieve the best results in treating acne scars. During your initial consultation, your experienced Aesthetic PA, NP or RN will assess factors like your skin type and the severity of your scars to determine the most suitable option for your needs. Here’s what to consider when selecting the right treatment:
- Skin Type: Different lasers are suited for different skin types. A professional will assess your skin tone and texture to recommend a treatment plan that minimizes the risk of complications like hyperpigmentation or irritation.
- Scar Severity: Deeper scars, such as ice pick scars, may require more intensive treatments, such as fractional lasers, while milder scars may respond well to gentler treatments.
- Consultation With a Professional: A consultation with a skincare professional is essential to evaluate your skin and scar condition. They will help you understand the treatment options available and tailor a plan based on your specific needs.
- Treatment Goals: Whether you're looking for prevention, improvement in texture, or reduction in discoloration, knowing your goals can help guide the choice of laser treatment.
- Budget and Downtime: Some treatments may require longer recovery times or multiple sessions. Consider how much downtime you're willing to take and factor this into your decision-making process.
- Potential Side Effects: Your clinician will explain the potential side effects of each treatment, helping you understand what to expect and how to manage these effects post-treatment.

All About Chemical Peels: Benefits, Types, & More
Chemical Peels Explained: Benefits, Types, and What to Expect
Chemical peels are a widely popular type of cosmetic procedure, and that popularity is only expected to continue growing in the coming years. But why? Because chemical peels are an incredibly effective way to improve your skin tone, texture, and clarity. Plus, it’s completely non-invasive, which means there’s far less downtime than there would be after any surgical options.
Below, we’ll explain what chemical peels really are, how they work, the benefits, the different types, and more.
What Exactly is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a treatment that involves using a chemical solution on the surface of your skin to remove the top layer of skin, including any damaged skin cells. This “controlled injury” triggers a healing process, which stimulates collagen and boosts the creation of new skin cells and elastin. This leads to a smoother, more even tone. Essentially, it’s a deep exfoliation process that can reverse common skin conditions, such as sun damage, aging, etc.
Benefits of Chemical Peels: What Do They Treat?
Chemical peels are multifaceted in that they treat a variety of skin conditions. Specifically, chemical peels help with:
- Melasma
- Hyperpigmentation
- Skin texture
- Uneven skin tone
- Sun damage
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Scarring
By receiving a chemical peel, you’re giving your skin a major boost in the production of collage and elastin, which ultimately gives your face a completely renewed look — all without having to undergo surgery.
Choosing the Right Chemical Peel for Your Skin
There are dozens of different types of chemical peels out there that target specific skin types and concerns. Here, we’ll focus on three categories to help you pinpoint the right peel for you.
Light Peels
Light chemical peels gently exfoliate your outermost layer of skin, helping to brighten and smooth your complexion with little to no downtime. These are perfect for boosting radiance, improving skin texture, and addressing mild concerns like dryness or dullness.
Best for: Those looking for a gentle refresh with minimal peeling or downtime. Great for first-time chemical peel clients and those with sensitive skin.
Common Types of Light Chemical Peels
- Glycolic Acid Peel: This type of peel gently resurfaces skin, boosting radiance and refining texture.
- Lactic Acid Peel: Ideal for sensitive skin and gentle brightening.
- Mandelic Acid Peel: A mild peel that improves skin tone and texture, great for reducing redness or breakouts.
- Salicylic Acid Peel: Perfect for oily or acne-prone skin, as it helps unclog pores and reduce blemishes.
Medium Peels
Medium-depth chemical peels penetrate deeper into the skin to target fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage while stimulating collagen production. These offer more noticeable results and may involve some peeling and downtime.
Best for: Those looking for more dramatic skin renewal, improvement in fine lines, and smoother skin tone.
Common Types of Medium Chemical Peels
- TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) Peel: A versatile option that helps address sun damage, fine lines, and uneven skin tone.
- Jessner’s Peel: A blend of acids formulated to reduce visible dark spots, acne scars, and texture concerns.
- Combination Peels: A custom blend of acids tailored to address multiple concerns in a single treatment.
Deep Peels
Deep chemical peels work at the deepest layers of the skin to provide powerful, long-lasting results. These treatments help reduce deep wrinkles, scars, and severe sun damage. Because deep peels penetrate so thoroughly, they require slightly more recovery time, but the results can be transformative.
Best for: Those seeking significant skin rejuvenation and correction of deep-set wrinkles, scars, or sun damage.
Types of Deep Chemical Peels
- Phenol Peel: The strongest type of chemical peel, effective for deep wrinkles and severe sun damage.
- High-Strength TCA Peel: Provides deep resurfacing benefits while improving skin elasticity and firmness.
What to Expect During and After a Chemical Peel
A chemical peel is a non-invasive procedure that is a relatively simple process. Depending on the depth of your chemical peel, our expert clinicians will use a soft tool to apply the chemical solution onto your face, and it will begin to whiten. During this process, you may feel a mild stinging sensation as the acid works its way through the top layers of your skin. After a few minutes, our team will apply a cool compress to soothe the treated skin, and then a neutralizing solution to wash the chemical solution off. Slight alterations to this process may be made depending on the type of peel you get.
After the procedure, your skin may be red, feel tight, irritated or swollen. Our team will give you instructions on post-care, which may include using sunscreen, gently cleansing the skin, and applying moisturizers and ointments. Typically after a few days, the redness will subside and you’ll start to see the beautiful results emerge.
Are Chemical Peels Right for You?
Chemical peels are suitable for many individuals, but they’re not for everyone. Those with highly sensitive skin, rosacea, open wounds, or sores may experience unpleasant side effects from this type of skin resurfacing treatment. Those with inflammatory skin conditions, such as psoriasis or cold sore breakouts, should also ask their doctor if a chemical peel is appropriate.
If you’re unsure, schedule a consultation with our team. We’ll work with you to find the right plan for your skin care goals.

A Guide to Non-Surgical Skin Tightening Procedures
Everything You Need To Know About Non-Surgical Skin Tightening
Desiring firmer, more youthful-looking skin is a natural response to aging. The good news? Achieving radiant, confident skin doesn’t have to be complicated. More and more people are choosing non-surgical skin tightening treatments to refresh their look without the downtime or risks of cosmetic surgery. These simple, innovative treatments help lift, tone, and firm, so you can feel good in your skin every step of the way.
At VITRA Aesthetics, we provide top-of-the-line solutions including CoolSculpting, cellulite reduction, and EvolveX technology to help bring out the most radiant, confident version of yourself!
Understanding Non-Surgical Skin Tightening
“Non-surgical skin tightening” is an umbrella term that applies to a range of treatments that stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity without incisions or significant downtime. These treatments typically use ultrasound energy, radiofrequency waves, or controlled cooling to target specific layers of tissue. Doing this triggers your body’s natural healing response and promotes the development of new collagen fibers, which firms and smooths your skin over time.
Popular Non-Surgical Skin Tightening Treatments
Trained aesthetic clinicians, like our team at VITRA Aesthetics, offer several effective approaches to skin tightening, each with unique benefits and applications. These treatments can be used independently or combined, depending on your specific needs, desires, and goals.
CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting is a treatment that uses controlled, targeted cooling to eliminate stubborn fat cells while simultaneously tightening your skin. Fat cells have a lower tolerance for cold temperatures than skin and other tissues, so clinicians can freeze these cells without damaging the surrounding areas. This freezing process, known as cryolipolysis, causes the fat cells to naturally die, shrink away, and become metabolized and eliminated from the body over a period of time following treatment.
When it comes to improving your looks and boosting self-confidence, CoolSculpting helps you achieve your goals by not only reducing fat but also stimulating collagen production, leading to firmer, more toned skin in all the right areas.
Cellulite Reduction
Cellulite reduction treatments combine injectable solutions with gentle massage or other mechanical manipulation to address the appearance of dimpled skin, especially around the buttocks and thighs.
It works by breaking down the fibrous bands called “septae” that create cellulite’s characteristic dimpled appearance, which improves the skin’s texture and firmness. The process ultimately stimulates natural collagen production within loose skin and helps reorganize fat deposits for a smoother, more vibrant look.
EvolveX Body Reshaping
EvolveX Body Reshaping is among the latest advancements in non-surgical body contouring technology. This approach uses a combination of radiofrequency energy and electromagnetic stimulation to reshape and tighten areas like the upper arms, sides, belly, thighs, and buttocks.
First, the radiofrequency breaks down unwanted fat molecules. Then the electromagnetic energy triggers imperceptible contractions throughout the targeted muscles, stimulating them to grow and tone. The treatment helps increase collagen production and other cellular remodeling for a more comprehensive body transformation.
Benefits of Non-Surgical Skin Tightening
The advantages of choosing non-surgical skin tightening treatments aren’t just limited to a brand new look and boost in confidence. Non-invasive skin tightening, like CoolSculpting, cellulite reduction, and EvolveX body shaping, can save you time, money, and a whole lot of logistics:
- Minimal Recovery Time: Most patients return to their normal activities immediately after treatment, with no need for extended downtime or special recovery protocols. The uncomplicated nature of these procedures means you can maintain your regular schedule while working toward your aesthetic goals.
- Natural-Looking Results: The gradual improvement in skin texture and firmness occurs over several weeks or months as your body produces new collagen and metabolizes or eliminates destroyed fat. This progressive transformation creates natural-looking results that don’t appear overdone or artificial.
- Long-Term Improvement: As these treatments stimulate your body’s natural collagen production, the results can last for an extended period of time with proper maintenance and skin care. With the proper upkeep and guidance from the clinicians at VITRA Aesthetics, the ongoing collagen remodeling process can continue to improve skin quality over time without the price tag, risks, or side effects of more invasive surgical procedures.
Who is a Good Candidate?
Non-surgical treatments can benefit a wide range of individuals. However, it’s important to assess certain factors that can influence treatment success and suitability beforehand. The ideal candidate typically has mild-to-moderate skin laxity and wants to address early signs of aging or maintain skin rejuvenation results from previous treatments.
Your skin type, age, and specific concerns will help determine which treatment approach will work best for you. During your consultation at VITRA Aesthetics, our team will evaluate your skin and discuss your goals to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs.
What to Expect From Treatment and Recovery
In any rejuvenation journey, it’s important to understand the treatment process and recovery timeline. Treatment sessions typically last between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the area being treated and the specific procedure being performed. We do our best to make the treatment as comfortable as possible. However, moments of discomfort may occur, but they are commonly mild and temporary.
Possible Side Effects
During treatment, many patients report feeling warmth, tingling, or mild pressure during skin tightening procedures. These sensations are generally well-tolerated and indicate that the treatment is effectively targeting the intended tissue layers.
Afterward, temporary redness or mild swelling may occur in the treated areas but typically subside within a few hours to days. These effects are normal signs that your body’s natural healing response has been activated.
Remember, results develop gradually over time as your body produces new collagen and elastin. While some patients notice initial improvements within a few weeks, optimal results typically become apparent after two or three months, with continued improvement possible for up to six months post-treatment.

The Expert’s Guide to Skin Resurfacing Treatments
Comparative Guide to Skin Resurfacing Treatments: Which Option Is Right for You?
Looking for effective skin resurfacing treatments? At VITRA Aesthetics, we make skin rejuvenation a refreshing and rewarding experience — but with so many options available, we know it can get confusing fast!
This comprehensive guide will walk you through the most effective treatments for addressing common skin concerns, from fine lines and wrinkles to acne scars and uneven texture. Let us help you find the perfect option to bring out your heavenly glow!
What are Skin Resurfacing Treatments?
Skin resurfacing treatments are cosmetic procedures that remove or modify the outer layers of skin to stimulate natural healing processes and collagen production. These treatments work by gently creating micro-injuries to the skin, causing it to generate fresh, healthy cells and structural proteins that help restore your natural youthful appearance. The result is smoother, clearer, and more radiant skin with improved texture and tone, reduced appearance of scars and fine lines, and a more even complexion.
Types of Skin Resurfacing Treatments
There are a number of modern approaches to skin resurfacing, each with unique benefits and considerations:
Understanding the differences between these treatments will help you feel confident in your choice.
RF Microneedling
RF Microneedling combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy to address multiple skin concerns simultaneously. This innovative treatment creates channels into the skin via tiny, painless punctures while delivering heat energy deep into the dermis, stimulating collagen production on multiple levels. The combination of physical needling and RF energy makes this treatment particularly effective for addressing texture issues, acne scars, and skin laxity while requiring minimal downtime compared to more aggressive treatments. VITRA offers Vivace and Morpheus8 RF microneedling.
Laser Resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing is one of the newest classes of aesthetic technology, offering precise and powerful treatment options for various skin concerns, including sun damage, age spots, and hyperpigmentation. These treatments use focused light energy to remove damaged skin cells using different wavelengths. VITRA Aesthetics’ laser systems allow for customized treatments that can be adjusted according to your skin type and concerns. These are a few of the laser options we offer:
- BBL HERO: The BBL HERO and BBL HEROic systems deliver precise pulses of broad-spectrum light (often called intense pulsed light or IPL) to target pigmentation, redness, and signs of aging. This can address multiple layers of skin damage while providing faster treatment times and superior comfort compared to traditional IPL treatments. BBL HERO is also exceptional at removing unwanted hair from virtually any part of the body.
- MOXI: This laser treatment is among the most gentle available today. Known as a “non-ablative laser,” light from MOXI diodes enters the skin without disturbing or removing the outermost layer. With a focus on skin tone and texture, MOXI is particularly effective for maintaining healthy, happy skin and preventing early signs of aging, making it an excellent choice for preventive skin care.
- Sciton HALO: HALO combines ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to remove damaged skin cells while keeping healthy tissue undisturbed throughout the treatment area, allowing for a faster recovery time. This hybrid technology provides powerful skin rejuvenation while prioritizing your comfort and maintaining reasonable healing times.
- Evoke Facial Reshaping: This non-invasive treatment uses radiofrequency energy to remodel facial tissues and improve skin quality. The device delivers consistent energy to target areas, promoting collagen production and tissue remodeling without the need for injectables, fillers, or plastic surgery. Evoke technology is especially effective at restoring what we call the “triangle of youth” — full cheeks tapering down to a slender, well-defined chin.
Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a gentle yet effective exfoliation treatment that removes dead skin cells and vellus hair from the face. It involves using a sterile surgical blade to carefully scrape away the top layer of dulling skin cells, revealing the smoother and more radiant new skin underneath. The process not only improves skin texture but also allows for better penetration of moisturizers and other beauty products.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels use carefully formulated creams or liquid solutions designed to remove damaged outer layers of skin, revealing fresh, healthy cells beneath. These treatments can be customized according to your skin type and concerns, with options ranging from superficial peels for gentle exfoliation to deeper peels for brighter, bolder results. The controlled exfoliation process helps create a silky smooth skin texture, reduces fine lines, and can address issues like acne and rosacea, all while stimulating collagen production.
Factors To Consider When Choosing a Treatment
Selecting the right skin resurfacing option requires careful consideration of several factors. First off, being knowledgeable of your base skin type and symptoms or issues is hugely important to the success of any treatment. For example, deep acne scars might respond better to RF microneedling or laser treatments, while surface-level texture issues may be better suited to chemical peels or microdermabrasion. Trained clinicians, like our team at VITRA Aesthetics, can help you understand your skin more fully and guide you toward the most effective options.
Secondly, your lifestyle and desired level of activity immediately after treatment play a role in determining which rejuvenation options will be best for you. Recovery time varies significantly across procedures, from minimal downtime with treatments like dermaplaning to several days of healing with more intensive laser options. Consider your schedule and ability to take time off when selecting a treatment option.
What To Expect During and After Treatment
Your treatment experience will begin with a thorough cleansing of the skin and application of appropriate numbing agents if needed. The actual procedure time can range from 30 minutes to over an hour, depending on the treatment type and areas being addressed. Our team will give you detailed instructions about post-treatment care, including specific products to use and activities to avoid during the healing process.
Recovery experiences vary significantly between treatment types, but most patients can expect minor side effects, such as temporary redness and sensitivity, in the treated areas. Your skin may feel tight and look pink for several days after more intensive treatments, while gentler procedures can leave you looking refreshed immediately. Following aftercare instructions carefully will help optimize your results and minimize any potential complications.
