Reviews
Am I a Candidate for Acne Scar Treatments?
To be considered for acne scar treatment, you may be searching for an alternative to other treatments like chemical peels, microneedling, or a surgical procedure. Patients with acne scars that just won't fade are great candidates for acne scar treatment. Our aesthetic team and Dr. Dauwe can assess your acne scars and the surrounding skin to see if you qualify for any of our scar removal techniques.
What is the Best Way to Get Rid of Acne Scars?
With our state-of-the-art treatment options, we can reduce the appearance of acne scars with advanced laser systems without harming the surrounding skin. Our lasers are versatile and can be adjusted to suit a variety of skin types and tones, as well as expanded to treat larger trouble areas with precision. During your consultation with Dr. Dauwe, he will go over all your options to create a unique treatment plan that addresses your specific concerns.
How Long is Recovery from Acne Scar Treatments?
Following an acne scar improvement treatment, some patients may experience minimal side effects such as redness, swelling, or bruising on the treated area; however, these effects will typically disappear within a few hours to a few days. You will typically see dramatic results after just one session, but scars typically require multiple treatments to show significant improvement. Since all of our acne scar treatments are noninvasive, they can be repeated to attain the aesthetic you desire. If you have negative side effects (such as excessive pain, fever, or discharge), please call our office for assistance.
Acne Scar Treatment FAQ
How much does acne scar treatment cost?
The cost will depend on the type of acne scar treatment used and the number of sessions needed to achieve your aesthetic goals. Dr. Dauwe can go over all your out-of-pocket costs during your first visit. Our practice accepts a variety of payment options and can set up a payment plan to help make your treatment more affordable.
How many acne scar treatments will I need?
The number of sessions needed will rely on the level of scarring. Individuals with mild to moderate acne scars will require fewer treatments than those with severe damage. During your treatment planning, we will assess your skin and make a recommendation on how many treatments you may need to reduce scarring.
Does an acne scar treatment hurt?
You can enjoy a relatively comfortable procedure as a topical anesthetic will be applied to your skin to provide continuous comfort throughout your treatment.
Do I need to avoid sun exposure after an acne scar treatment?
Please keep in mind that you will need to protect your skin from direct sun exposure (as it is best for your skin while it is sensitive to light after a laser or RF microneedling treatment). We also recommend incorporating a daily sunscreen into your skin care routine to protect the overall health of your skin.
