Acne scars are formed when the infected sebaceous material escapes into the surrounding dermis causing fibrosis and scarring in the skin. This can occur spontaneously or when we squeeze an acne pustule incorrectly, causing direct damage and escape of material into the skin.

All treatments that encourage the formation of new collagen will help acne scarring. The big factor is how fast you would like to see the result and how much down time you can afford, as well as what your skin type is.

Most patients of any skin type, especially in Asian skin which is delicate and hard to treat, prefer a safe treatment method for their acne scarring. At Sapphire Appearance Medicine Clinic - Auckland Cosmetic Medicine Clinic Limited, we use the Starlux Fractional Nonablative 1540nm erbium:glass laser to safely reduce acne scars over several treatments. The extent of improvement depends on your starting point, and the quality of your skin at the beginning of any treatment.

Nonablative fractional laser treatment is fast becoming the gold standard for treating acne scars.
