When it comes to acne and acne scars—no one wants either. Those scars feel like the unwanted reminder of breakouts past. Whether you’ve tried every cream on the shelf or started experimenting with other options, laser treatment for acne scars is the most effective. Not only is it non-invasive, but it helps fade scars and smooth out your skin’s texture.
If you’re dealing with stubborn scarring and are looking for a change that works—here’s what you should know about laser treatment for acne scars. And why
ReWind Medical Solutions is your go-to destination to get the job done!
Why Acne Scars Form
Acne scares are often the results of inflamed blemishes that damage the skin and its underlying tissue. When inflammation goes deep, your body tries to heal itself—but sometimes it produces either too little or too much collagen. That’s how we end up with:
- Atrophic scars: small indentations like icepick, boxcar, or rolling scars
- Hypertrophic or keloid scars: raised, bumpy scars caused by excess collagen
The goal of treating acne scars is to break down damaged tissue and encourage new, healthy skin to take its place—and that’s what laser therapy does.
How Laser Treatment Works for Acne Scars
Laser treatment for acne scars use targeted light energy to gently remove damaged skin layers and stimulate your body’s natural healing response.
The
result?
Increased collagen production, and a noticeable improvement in skin tone and depth of scars.
There are different types of lasers used in this treatment process:
- Ablative lasers remove the outer layers of skin for deeper resurfacing.
- Non-ablative lasers work below the surface to prompt collagen production without affecting the top layer.
- Fractional lasers target tiny zones in the skin, leaving surrounding tissue untouched for quicker healing.
According to the
Cleveland Clinic, different lasers can be matched to your specific scar type and skin tone for optimal results.
At ReWind Medical Solutions, we use the Hollywood Spectra™—a top-tier, non-ablative laser known for its effectiveness on
acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and
texture issues, all with minimal downtime.
Real Benefits of Laser Treatment for Acne Scars
Here’s what you can expect after a series of laser treatments:
- Reduced depth and discoloration of acne scars
- Smoother skin texture that looks and feels healthier
- Boosted collagen and elastin production over time
- More even skin tone and improved brightness
- Minimal downtime and non-invasive sessions
- Lasting results with the right skincare and follow-up
Laser treatment for acne scars is safe and effective for most skin types, but the best results come from a customized plan—something our ReWind team specializes in.
As
Healthline notes, laser treatment can’t erase scars entirely, but it can dramatically improve their appearance—and your confidence along with it.
What to Expect at ReWind Medical Solutions
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all skincare. Every treatment at ReWind begins with a full consultation to evaluate your skin type, scar patterns, and goals.
A typical Hollywood Spectra™ session:
- Takes 30–60 minutes
- Includes topical numbing for your comfort
- Has minimal side effects (some redness, mild flaking)
- Requires little to no downtime
And because collagen production continues in the weeks following your appointment, you’ll keep seeing results long after you leave our office. Click here for more information on how our Hollywood Laser treatment can most benefit you.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, patients should always choose a provider experienced in tailoring laser treatments to individual skin needs—and that’s exactly what we do.
Are You a Good Candidate for Laser Acne Scar Treatment?
Most people with atrophic acne scars, light-to-medium skin tones, and no active breakouts or infections are great candidates for laser treatment.
That said, darker skin tones or those prone to hyperpigmentation may need a more cautious, personalized approach. This is why an expert evaluation matters—especially when you want results without risking irritation or uneven tone.
Maximize Your Results
Laser treatment for acne scars isn’t a magic wand—it’s a process. To make the most of it:
- Stick to all pre- and post-care instructions
- Avoid sun exposure before and after treatment
- Keep your skincare routine simple and soothing
- Be consistent—multiple sessions may be needed for optimal results
We may also recommend pairing your treatment with topical products or microneedling for even greater results.
