Acne scar and acne mark treatment
Acne can leave two kinds of reminders: flat red or brown marks, and textured scars where the skin was damaged. Both can fade with the right treatment.

How we treat it
Micro-Needling and laser rejuvenation rebuild collagen to soften textured scars. Peels, microdermabrasion and laser fade red and brown marks. LED calms inflammation and supports healing. Most people get the best result from combining treatments over a course.
