Acne And Scar Removal

What’s involved in acne and scar removal?

To reduce the appearance of acne scars or minor scars from injury or surgery, Dr. Shah uses the latest techniques and the cutting-edge Alma™ laser technologies in-office.  

The Alma Harmony XL Pro laser system offers several technologies to improve the health of your skin, including radiofrequency plasma lasers. 

By delivering the energy to the deeper tissues beneath the skin, Dr. Shah can trigger your body’s natural production of collagen, an essential protein for healthy, younger-looking skin.

The Alma system can also treat existing acne to clear your skin and smooth your complexion. Using the Harmony XL Pro ClearSkin™ non-ablative, vacuum-assisted laser system, Dr. Shah can treat all forms of acne during noninvasive, in-office treatments.

When should I consider laser treatments for acne and scars?

If you have moderate to severe acne not treatable with medications or other therapies, Dr. Shah can evaluate the overall health of your skin to determine if laser treatments are right for you. 

The Alma laser system is safe for all skin types and colors and can effectively treat the stubborn acne that makes you unhappy with your appearance. The laser system is also suitable for teens struggling with stubborn acne.

You can also schedule a skin evaluation for acne-related scars or scars you have from minor injuries. Dr. Shah can use laser technology to promote the growth of new collagen, which fills in the recessed areas of scars and revitalizes the look and feel of your skin.

As new collagen continues to develop in the months after treatment, you will see a noticeable reduction in the appearance of facial scars, while your overall complexion is smoother and firmer.

What are the benefits of laser therapy for acne and scars?

The Alma Harmony XL Pro laser system offers the convenience of in-office treatments that are virtually painless and require no downtime. The laser system works from the surface of your skin and you won’t need any incisions or invasive procedures.

Immediately after your acne or scar treatment, you can return to your usual routine without needing time for recovery.

Dr. Shah customizes your laser treatments to meet your unique needs and achieve your desired results. He may recommend multiple sessions over the course of several weeks to maximize results and improve the overall health of your skin.
