Acne Scars
Acne can leave changes in skin texture and color. Treatment planning begins by distinguishing those concerns.
Texture + Discoloration
Acne scars are not all alike. Some change the surface of the skin, while others leave visible discoloration. A texture-focused laser approach can support collagen remodeling to improve the appearance of scarred skin over time. This differs from addressing residual red or dark pigment, so those concerns are assessed separately. Bonnie considers the type and depth of scarring, surrounding skin and any active acne before selecting the treatment method.
Acne Scar Concerns Bonnie Can Assess
BEFORE TREATMENT
Discuss pitted, raised or sunken acne scars and lingering red or dark marks with Bonnie. She can assess the scar and surrounding skin before explaining which laser approach may be appropriate.
Bonnie reviews the area, skin type, treatment history and your goals. Share your medicines, skincare products and any recent sun exposure. Follow the preparation instructions for your treatment; do not stop prescribed medicines without your prescriber's guidance.
Bonnie will look at the scar pattern, how deep or raised the areas are, the skin around them and your goals. Laser treatment can be part of a plan to improve the appearance of acne scarring, but it cannot promise to erase every scar. Discuss the expected treatment course and realistic limitations with Bonnie before treatment.
Protective eyewear and treatment-specific comfort measures are discussed before the procedure.
Follow the instructions for cleansing, skincare and sun protection. Redness, swelling, discomfort or pigment changes can occur, with recovery depending on the procedure and your skin. Bonnie can explain what to expect and when to contact the team.
The number of treatments and spacing depend on the scar’s type, depth, color, location and healing response. Bonnie will assess the area and explain the proposed course and realistic expectations. Discuss your recommended treatment course and the time between sessions during your consultation.

Pricing depends on the treatment area and course. This is one listed example; the full pricing page shows the other areas and package options.
YOUR QUESTIONS
Use these answers to prepare for an individual conversation, not to replace an assessment.
This page focuses on the scars and discoloration acne can leave behind. Bonnie can discuss the condition of your skin and whether a different concern should be addressed first.
Yes. Pitted, raised and discolored areas are different concerns. Bonnie's assessment determines what laser approach, if any, makes sense for each.
Complete scar removal cannot be guaranteed. Discuss the likely improvement and limitations for your scar type with Bonnie.
