Laser treatment for acne scars

Zabieg laserowy CO2 – leczenie blizn potrądzikowych

What does the treatment of acne scars involve?

Acne scars usually manifest as indentations, unevenness and a loss of skin elasticity. Their treatment involves stimulating the skin to regenerate collagen and gradually restore its structure.

At Medistica, we use:

fractional ablative CO₂ laser – intensively remodels the skin and smooths scars,
picosecond laser in non-ablative fractional mode – stimulates regeneration without damaging the skin’s surface,
combined therapies – in selected cases, we combine laser therapy with treatments that support skin regeneration.

The choice of treatment depends on the type of scar (rolling, boxcar, ice-pick), its depth and the condition of the skin.

Jakie efekty można uzyskać?

The most commonly observed effects:

smoothing of the skin’s surface,
reduction of wrinkles,
improved firmness and elasticity,
evening out of skin texture and tone,
reduction in the appearance of pores.

The effect builds up over time as collagen is remodelled.

Combination therapies – when are they recommended?

For deeper or stubborn scars, we use a combined approach.

Laser therapy can be supplemented with, for example:

platelet-rich plasma (PRP),
treatments that stimulate skin regeneration,
and therapies that improve tissue quality.

Such an approach allows us to treat the condition on multiple levels.

Dla kogo jest ten zabieg?

The treatment is recommended for patients:

who have completed treatment or are currently undergoing treatment for acne,
with atrophic (indented) scars,
with uneven skin texture,
who wish to improve the quality and smoothness of their facial skin.

Laser therapy can form part of the treatment for active acne, provided it is properly planned. Safety is ensured by the precise selection of parameters and the expertise of our specialists.
