Can HALO™ Laser Treatment Help Reduce Acne Scars?

Acne scars can be a persistent reminder of past skin troubles, affecting not only your complexion but also your confidence. At Concordia Star Medical Aesthetics in Puyallup, WA, we understand this impact, which is why we're excited to offer advanced skin care solutions.

If you're struggling with your appearance because of visible acne scars, Dr. Ladie Araña-Domondon can help with cutting-edge solutions, including HALO laser skin resurfacing. Let's explore what makes the HALO laser a star in acne scar treatments.

What causes acne scars to develop?

Acne scars arise from the skin's inflammatory response to acne. When acne penetrates the skin deeply, it damages the skin and the tissue beneath it. As the acne clears, the body tries to repair this damage. During the healing process, the body produces collagen, a substance that gives the skin structural support. If the body produces too little or too much collagen, scars form. The type of scar depends on how much collagen your body makes. Depressed acne scars (atrophic scars) occur when the body produces too little collagen, while raised acne scars (hypertrophic scars) form when the body produces too much.

How can laser skin resurfacing diminish the appearance of acne scars?

Laser skin resurfacing harnesses the power of light energy to revolutionize acne scar treatments. By meticulously removing damaged skin layers, this method encourages the emergence of fresh, rejuvenated skin cells. The targeted approach of laser scar treatment means it's not only effective but also precise, reducing the risk of damaging surrounding healthy skin. The result? A smoother, more even skin texture and a significant reduction in the appearance of scars.

What sets HALO laser treatments apart from traditional laser skin resurfacing?

The HALO laser represents the next generation in laser skin resurfacing. Unlike traditional treatments, HALO is a hybrid fractional laser, combining two types of wavelengths to target different skin depths simultaneously. This dual-wavelength approach allows for a more comprehensive treatment, tackling not only the superficial skin layer but also reaching deeper to stimulate collagen production. This groundbreaking approach to laser scar treatment helps reduce the appearance of visible scarring while also enhancing overall skin texture and tone — with less downtime than traditional laser treatments.

What other skin concerns can HALO laser treatment address?

Beyond acne scar treatment, the HALO laser is versatile in addressing a range of skin concerns. Here are some additional benefits:

• Reducing fine lines and wrinkles: By stimulating collagen production, HALO helps in softening fine lines and wrinkles.
• Improving skin texture and pore size: It smoothes the skin and can reduce the appearance of enlarged pores.
• Treating sun damage and discoloration: HALO is effective in diminishing sun spots and uneven skin tone.
• Enhancing overall skin radiance: The treatment leaves the skin more luminous and vibrant.
