Toronto Acne Scar Treatment
Unsightly acne scars and stretch marks can present ongoing concerns for both men and women. These skin conditions are often considered disfiguring and may affect confidence long after the initial cause has healed.
Dr. Shia Wolgelernter, M.D., the Cosmetic and Laser MD, specializes in Toronto acne scar treatment using advanced laser technology designed to improve or eliminate red, raised, and textured scars while restoring smoother, more even skin.
What Causes Acne Scars & Stretch Marks?
Scars form as part of the skin’s natural healing process whenever multiple layers of skin are injured. This injury may result from severe acne, surgery, burns, or trauma that disrupts collagen and elastin beneath the surface.
Stretch marks are commonly caused by rapid skin expansion due to pregnancy, bodybuilding, or weight fluctuations. They often appear on the abdomen, thighs, breasts, groin, and buttocks. Initially red in color, stretch marks gradually fade to white as they mature.
New Laser Technology
Modern laser treatments offer advanced solutions for improving the appearance of scars and stretch marks. Laser energy penetrates beneath the skin, stimulating collagen production and encouraging natural skin regeneration.
As collagen rebuilds, the skin thickens beneath the treated area, helping scars blend more naturally with the surrounding skin for a smoother, more uniform appearance.
Laser Acne Scar Treatment
Current laser technology has been shown to significantly improve or reduce the appearance of acne scars and stretch marks. These treatments work by stimulating the body’s natural healing response, gradually improving skin texture over time.
Results typically continue to develop over a period of 3 to 6 months following treatment, as collagen production increases and the skin continues to repair itself.
