Acne Scarring Treatment
Acne scars and surgical scars may be a cause of a person’s emotional and or physical pain and affect their quality of life. In severe cases, scars can even limit a person’s mobility.
Surgical scar removal procedures are painful and invasive and have a risk for complications. Laser scar treatment with Acne Clinics of Edmonton in West Edmonton Mall offers a noninvasive solution that uses fractional laser technology to deliver rapid, reliable scarring treatment with less risk and minimal downtime.
Our fractional laser technology is the driving power behind our acne and surgical scar procedure. We use pulses of laser light to coagulate scar tissue and trigger healthy new tissue to form in clients’ skin.
How Laser Scar Treatment Works:
Laser scar treatments for acne and surgical scars uses fractional laser light to create micro-columns of coagulated tissue that extend deep into the dermis without ablating the epidermis.
This triggers a wound-healing process that replaces the disorganized, compacted scar tissue with healthy new tissue, greatly diminishing the appearance of the scar tissue. Advanced Contact Cooling protects the epidermis, promoting safer, more comfortable treatments.

A noninvasive, nonablative laser that gently uses controlled heat to stimulate collagen production, reduce diffuse redness, and improve the appearance of acne scars.
Laser Genesis
PicoSure
PicoSure by Cynosure Lutronic delivers ultra-short energy pulses (trillionths of a second) that shatter unwanted pigment and simultaneously stimulate collagen and elastin production, producing clearer, smoother skin and noticeably improved acne scarring with minimal downtime.
Morpheus8 is a fractional skin treatment that stimulates collagen production of the underlying layers of the dermis. By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, tissues of the face and body can be remodeled to reveal a more radiant youthful appearance.
Radiofrequency (RF) energy is a scientifically proven method to remodel and rebuild collagen. It is minimally invasive, using a matrix of micro pins to renew the deeper layers of the skin with minimal downtime.
Morpheus8
Pearl
A resurfacing laser by Cutera that treats both the top layer and deeper layers of skin, delivering long-lasting benefits. As your skin heals, it will develop a thin protective layer that typically begins to slough off around days three to four after the procedure. In a short period, most patients notice noticeable overall improvements in texture and tone.
Pearl Fractional is a fractional laser designed to treat texture and discolourations effectively. Pearl Fractional delivers an excellent balance of patient comfort and a short, manageable recovery period.
Fractional therapy describes a treatment that exposes only a fraction of the skin to the laser beam in a precise pattern of tiny dots. With Pearl Fractional, short laser pulses create microscopic holes in the skin’s surface. Columns of damaged tissue are selectively removed while the surrounding healthy skin remains intact. After a treatment, the body’s own natural healing process stimulates collagen production, gradually improving the appearance of fine lines and other signs of aging skin.
