Acne Scars and Scarring

Lighten Up Laser Clinic of Northeast Houston provides safe and effective fine line and wrinkle removal for patients looking to improve the appearance of their skin.
How Treatment Works
Laser beams are easily absorbed by the skin and its layers. The beams remove the most superficial skin layers and collagen regeneration is stimulated through the heat it emits. Over time, acne scars and other scars will fade and can disappear completely.
Pre treatment, patients are encouraged to avoid direct sun exposure for one week prior to their appointment. We ask that you do not wear makeup the day of your procedure. Post treatment it is advised that you wear SPF 50+ sunscreen for three months. We will provide you with pre and post treatment recommendations upon completion of your appointment.
In some instances, you may experience temporary effects such as skin redness and/or a mild sunburn sensation after your treatment, although this is rare–most patients notice little to no effects. As the skin heals, smooth skin will be revealed.
