Acne Scar Reduction

Can Pico laser remove acne scars?

Pico laser is a safe, quick, and effective way to treat acne scars, and has been proven to provide long-lasting results. Pico laser represents a groundbreaking approach to treating acne scars, employing ultra-short pulses of light energy to precisely target and address the affected areas. This innovative treatment delivers intense bursts of light that break down damaged tissue and encourage the regeneration of healthy new skin cells. The outcome is notably smoother, clearer skin with enhancements in texture, tone, and colour. Pico laser treatment is both safe and efficient, offering a rapid solution for acne scars with proven long-lasting results.

Types of Acne Scar

Acne scars often result from severe or untreated acne, presenting as depressions, raised scars, or dark spots on the skin's surface, thereby impacting its texture and tone. These scars can have a profound emotional impact, leading to diminished self-confidence. At Quality Care Doctors, we understand the significance of addressing these scars using cutting-edge technology like Picoway.

One prevalent type of acne scar is atrophic scars, resulting from insufficient collagen production in the skin necessary for repairing areas damaged by acne. Atrophic scars typically manifest as depressions in the skin and vary in severity, ranging from shallow to deep. They may take the form of ice pick scars, characterized by long and narrow indentations, or boxcar scars, which are round or oval depressions with defined edges.

Keloid scars represent another type of acne scar, occurring when an excessive amount of collagen is produced during the healing process. These raised scars are typically red or purple and can be considerable in size. Hypertrophic scars, while raised, are not as prominent as keloid scars.

What Are The Benefits of Picoway Treatment For Acne Scars Removal?

  1. Non-invasive Procedure: Pico Laser treatment is non-invasive, targeting the deeper layers of the skin without causing damage to surrounding tissues.
  2. Scar Tissue Breakdown: Short bursts of energy delivered by the Pico Laser penetrate the skin to break up scar tissue, effectively reducing the appearance of acne scars.
  3. Stimulates Collagen Production: Pico Laser treatment stimulates collagen production, improving the skin’s texture and resulting in a more even skin tone and youthful appearance.
  4. Encourages Skin Cell Growth: By encouraging the growth of healthy skin cells, Pico Laser treatment helps to reduce discoloration and the visibility of scars.
  5. Gentle and Fast: The procedure is gentle, with patients typically experiencing only mild discomfort. Moreover, Pico Laser treatment is fast, often completed in as little as 30 minutes.


Overall, Picoway treatment offers a quick, effective, and gentle solution for reducing the appearance of acne scars and improving overall skin texture and tone.

Pico Laser treatment distinguishes itself from other types of lasers through several key features:

  1. Precision and Power: Pico Laser treatment utilizes ultra-short pulse laser technology, delivering energy in trillionths of a second to target cells with exceptional precision. This focused energy allows for precise treatment while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue.
  2. Safety: The advanced precision of Pico Laser treatment reduces the risk of burning or damaging the surrounding skin tissue, making it a safer option compared to other laser treatments.
  3. Deeper Penetration: Unlike some other laser treatments, Pico Laser treatment can penetrate deeper into the layers of the skin to target acne scars more effectively. This deeper penetration allows for photomechanical ablation, breaking up cells into tiny pieces that can be easily eliminated by the body’s natural healing process.
  4. Quicker and More Effective Skin Rejuvenation: The photomechanical ablation process enabled by Pico Laser treatment results in faster and more effective skin rejuvenation compared to traditional methods.
  5. Gentle on the Skin: Pico Laser treatment is generally gentler on the skin compared to traditional acne scar laser treatments, making it a more comfortable option for patients.


Overall, Pico Laser treatment offers a combination of precision, safety, effectiveness, and gentleness that sets it apart from other types of laser treatments for acne scars.

The downtime of Pico Laser Treatment

Following Pico Laser Treatment, it's common for individuals to experience some redness, swelling, and discomfort in the treated area. However, these symptoms typically subside shortly after the procedure, with any redness disappearing completely within a few hours.

To optimize results and ensure proper post-treatment care, patients should take certain precautions. It's important to avoid direct sunlight, heavy sweating, and activities that may irritate the treated area. Additionally, using moisturizers and sunscreen is crucial to protect the skin and maintain the desired results.
