Does Acne Scar Removal Hurt?

November 21, 2017

Suffering from teenage acne can be a painful and embarrassing experience. It can leave you with unsightly blemishes and acne scars. Unfortunately, for some people acne can continue into adulthood. Many people affected by adult acne are embarrassed to show their face in public without resorting to using heavy make up. But the good news is that there are great options for acne scar removal in Toronto.

There are three main types of acne scars:

Rolling Scars  – these types of acne scars are deeper skin indentations that usually have slopped and round edges. A cluster of these scars on the skin gives them that rolling appearance and that’s where the name comes from.

Ice Pick Scars – these types of acne scars are also deep but narrower in nature. They usually resemble a big empty pore in the skin.

Box Car Scars – these types of acne scars are deep but with more defined and steep edges.

Acne Scar Removal In Toronto Using The Lumenis® ResurFX™ Technology

At IGBeauty we use only non-ablative and non-invasive laser skin resurfacing technologies. Our treatments are not only very effective but also completely safe. We have been using the Lumenis® ResurFX™ laser scar removal to successfully treat various acne scarring. ResurFX™ is unique in its application because it does the job well with only one pass. Which means it is highly effective and only targets the treated area. The surrounded skin remains unaffected. This laser is fully approved by both the FDA and Health Canada for its safety features.

At IGBeauty our skin care professionals specialize in acne scar removal in Toronto. The Lumenis® ResurFX™ is a modern laser procedure that is ideal to treat various skin conditions regardless of shape, size, and density. This treatment not only reduces the appearance of scars but your skin will also appear much softer after it heals properly.

Is Acne Scar Removal Pain-Free?

Our skin care specialists at IGBeauty ensure that the treatment is as gentle and comfortable as possible. A topical numbing cream is applied during the treatment to minimize any possible discomfort. In addition, the Lumenis® ResurFX™ has a cooling feature which activates with each pulse. Therefore we strongly believe that the Lumenis® ResurFX™ is the ideal solution for acne scar removal in Toronto.

At the most our clients will experience mild stinging sensation when the laser is applied to the skin. Also, depending on the client and the area to be treated, most sessions only last anywhere between 15 to 30 minutes. Afterwards, you will continue to see improvement of scars and texture during next 6 months after completed treatment protocol.
