Post-acne marks are categorized into red marks caused by dilated blood vessels and brown marks caused by hyperpigmentation. We use vascular lasers for red marks, and pigment lasers and toning for brown marks, targeting the underlying cause to restore a smooth, even skin tone.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Don't acne marks fade naturally over time?
While red marks may fade over several months, brown hyperpigmentation can persist for years, making early treatment highly recommended.
Can active acne and acne marks be treated at the same time?
Yes, it is possible. Anti-inflammatory treatments and mark-clearing lasers can be performed on the same day or scheduled alternately.
