What Is Laser Acne Scar Treatment?
Laser acne scar treatment uses advanced energy-based devices to remodel collagen beneath the skin surface, smoothing and reducing the appearance of acne scars. Dr. Avaliani employs multiple technologies — including fractional lasers, RF microneedling, and picosecond lasers — because different scar types respond best to different approaches. A combination protocol typically yields the most dramatic improvement.
At Dr. Avaliani’s practice, every acne scar treatment begins with a detailed analysis of your scar types and skin characteristics. She identifies whether your scars are ice pick (deep, narrow punctures), boxcar (sharp-edged depressions), or rolling (wave-like undulations) — then selects the ideal technology or combination for each. This targeted approach ensures maximum improvement per session.
How Acne Scar Treatment Works
The acne scar treatment follows a comprehensive, proven protocol:
Dr. Avaliani analyzes your scar types, depth, distribution, and skin tone to design a customized multi-technology treatment plan
The selected technology delivers controlled energy beneath the skin surface, triggering your body’s natural collagen remodeling response
New collagen forms over weeks to months, gradually filling depressed scars and smoothing irregular texture from the inside out
Results improve progressively with each session as collagen continues to remodel and rebuild beneath the scar tissue
A series of 3–6 treatments typically provides 50–80% improvement in scar appearance, with results continuing to improve for months after treatment
Scar Types We Treat
Ice Pick Scars
Deep, narrow, puncture-like indentations that extend into the dermis. These V-shaped scars are among the most challenging to treat and respond best to a combination of TCA cross technique, PicoSure Focus laser, and Genius RF microneedling for gradual improvement.
Boxcar Scars
Round or oval depressions with sharp, well-defined edges, similar to chickenpox scars. Typically found on cheeks and temples. Genius RF microneedling and fractional laser resurfacing effectively stimulate collagen to fill these depressions and soften their edges.
Rolling Scars
Wave-like, broad depressions caused by fibrous bands pulling the skin down from beneath. Subcision combined with Sculptra or filler can release these bands and restore volume, while laser treatments smooth the surface texture.
Hyperpigmented Scars
Dark marks and discoloration left behind after acne heals (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation). PicoSure Focus laser safely treats PIH on ALL skin tones, breaking down excess pigment without damaging surrounding tissue for a more even complexion.
Raised/Hypertrophic Scars
Raised, thickened scar tissue that forms above the skin surface along the original wound line. Steroid injections, laser treatments, and combination protocols can flatten and soften hypertrophic scars for a smoother appearance.
Textural Irregularity
Rough, uneven skin texture from widespread shallow scarring that makes the skin look bumpy or pitted. Medical-grade peels, microneedling with growth factors, and PicoSure Focus laser smooth overall texture for a refined, even skin surface.

Does It Hurt?
Your Comfort Options (We Tailor This to You)
Comfort varies by technology. PicoSure Focus feels like light snapping with minimal discomfort and requires no numbing. Genius RF microneedling involves brief pinching with topical numbing applied beforehand. Dr. Avaliani uses the Vibrata tool to reduce sensation during all treatments.
Pro-Nox (nitrous oxide) is available for patients who prefer additional relaxation during any scar treatment. Most procedures take 30–60 minutes depending on the area treated. Downtime varies from zero (PicoSure Focus) to 1–3 days of mild redness (Genius RF, peels). Results improve progressively over weeks to months as collagen remodels.
