Acne & Acne Scars
Clearer skin, smoother confidence—guided by science, tailored to you.
Acne is more than a cosmetic issue; it can affect self-confidence and leave reminders of what your skin has gone through. Whether you're dealing with active breakouts, acne scarring, or uneven texture, effective treatment begins beneath the skin.
At Cutis Medical Laser Clinics, we approach acne and acne scarring with treatments backed by science and clinical research. Our treatments target not only the root causes of acne, but also the structural damage caused by inflammation. This is to help make sure that your skin not only looks better, but heals better.
Medical Treatment Options for Acne & Acne Scars
Medical Microneedling
Stimulate collagen to reduce scars and refine texture.
(U.S. FDA-cleared)
Medical microneedling uses tiny, medical-grade microneedles that create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers the skin’s natural healing process, encouraging collagen production and cell turnover. It helps reduce post-acne marks, surface irregularities, and enlarged pores.
Medical microneedling is a skin rejuvenation treatment designed to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, the essential proteins that keep skin firm, smooth, and youthful.
By creating controlled micro-injuries, this treatment activates the body’s natural healing process, improving skin texture, reducing the appearance of scars, and promoting a more even, refined complexion.
Unlike cosmetic microneedling, which only treats the skin's surface, medical microneedling penetrates deeper layers, triggering a regenerative response. The tiny micro-channels created during the procedure not only initiate collagen remodeling but also enhance the absorption and effectiveness of active serums applied during treatment.
Most patients see visible improvements after a series of 3 to 6 treatments, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, with results continuing to improve as collagen production progresses.
Fractional Plasma
Target texture and scarring with gentle skin resurfacing.
Fractional plasma delivers controlled thermal energy to create micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. This promotes cell regeneration and collagen production, improving skin smoothness and reducing acne scars.
Fractional plasma is a skin resurfacing treatment designed to improve pitted scars, uneven texture, and fine lines, especially in areas like the cheek and temples. It can be used on delicate skin and is safe for areas often too sensitive for other resurfacing treatments.
Unlike lasers or radiofrequency, plasma energy works through sublimation, a process that turns solid tissue directly into gas without going through a liquid phase. It delivers plasma energy in a fractional grid pattern, creating controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These stimulate the body’s natural healing process and trigger collagen production.
Downtime is mild to moderate, typically involving redness, flaking, and temporary crusting or tiny dots in the treated area. While initial healing occurs within a week, visible results build progressively over 4–6 weeks as collagen continues to regenerate.
Laser Skin Rejuvenation
Calm inflammation and reduce redness with gentle laser therapy.
(U.S. FDA-approved)
Laser skin rejuvenation is a non-invasive laser treatment that targets skin redness, active acne, and early scarring. It gently heats the dermis to kill acne-causing bacteria while stimulating collagen production.
Laser skin rejuvenation stimulates your skin’s natural healing processes to improve acne, scarring, sun damage, and early signs of aging. Using micro-pulses of laser energy, it gently heats the upper dermis, stimulating collagen regrowth and targeting dilated capillaries to reduce redness.
By boosting collagen production and encouraging new skin cell turnover, this treatment helps refine texture, even out skin tone, and restore a radiant, healthy glow. It can also be effective for inflamed acne, early post-acne marks, enlarged pores, and dull or uneven skin, all with minimal to no downtime.
Safe for all skin types, laser skin rejuvenation is ideal as a corrective or maintenance treatment. A series of 4–6 sessions spaced a few weeks apart is typically recommended. Visible improvements can appear after 1–2 treatments, with full results developing in about 3 months and lasting up to 12 months or more with regular touch-ups.
RF Microneedling with Erbium Glass Laser
Smooth, firm, and resurface with dual-action technology.
(US FDA-Approved for Scar Treatment)
The combination of RF microneedling and Erbium glass laser treats skin at multiple skin levels. It helps break up scar tissue, encourages new collagen formation, and promotes skin regeneration from deep within.
RF microneedling with Erbium Glass Laser is a skin rejuvenation treatment that can treat a range of skin concerns, from acne scarring and wrinkles to skin laxity and enlarged pores. This dual-energy approach stimulates the skin’s natural repair processes, offering both surface renewal and collagen remodeling.
Using ultra-fine microneedles, the radiofrequency (RF) microneedling component delivers controlled heat into the dermis, triggering collagen and elastin production without damaging the skin’s surface. The 1540nm laser works on the superficial layers to refine tone, reduce pigmentation, and smooth rough patches.
A course of 3–5 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal results. Improvements are often noticeable after the first few treatments, with continued collagen remodeling over the following months.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
Target spots, scars, and textural concerns with laser resurfacing.
(U.S. FDA cleared)
Laser Skin Resurfacing delivers short pulses of heat to remove damaged skin layers and stimulate collagen. It’s ideal for moderate to severe acne scarring and uneven skin tone, resulting in smoother, clearer skin with just 1–2 sessions.
Laser Skin Resurfacing is a targeted treatment that improves deep acne scars, fine lines, and sun damage. It works by removing the top layer of damaged skin and stimulating collagen production beneath. It resurfaces the skin while triggering natural healing for long-term renewal.
By encouraging new collagen and healthy skin cell turnover, it restores clarity and softness to the skin that looks rough, aged, or uneven. It is ideal for patients with moderate to severe acne scarring, photoaged skin, or uneven tone, particularly in lighter skin types.
Visible improvements are seen after just one session, with optimal results developing over 6–8 weeks. Depending on the severity of the concern, a second session may be recommended for enhanced results. The treatment requires 3–5 days downtime, but most patients find the results: smoother, clearer skin, well worth the recovery.
Pico MLA (Microlens Array)
Break up deep scars and pigmentation with ultra-short laser pulses.
Pico MLA uses fractional picosecond laser energy to create micro-injuries in the skin, breaking down scar tissue and pigment clusters. It's an ideal solution for acne scars and discoloration with minimal downtime.
Pico Laser with Micro Lens Array (MLA) uses ultra-short laser pulses to improve acne scars, skin texture, enlarged pores, and early signs of aging. Unlike traditional resurfacing, it delivers high energy in fractional patterns without breaking the skin, minimizing damage and downtime.
The MLA handpiece creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger collagen remodeling and skin regeneration, helping to smooth uneven texture and reduce the depth of acne scarring. At the same time, the laser breaks down pigment clusters, aiding in the reduction of post-acne marks and dullness.
This treatment is safe for all skin types and well-tolerated, with minimal to no downtime. Most patients experience mild redness that subsides within a day or two. It’s ideal for those looking for gentle yet effective skin renewal without peeling or prolonged recovery.
A series of 3–5 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart is usually recommended. Visible improvement can often be seen after the first session, with full results developing over 6–8 weeks as new collagen continues to form.
