While there is no way to make one’s skin that of a porcelain doll, acne scars can be improved. This usually requires a number of treatments with the CoolTouch, Smooth Beam, Affirm, Active FX or Fraxel lasers, which can minimize their appearance.

We often combine lasers with subcision and/or injection of fillers.
