Laser Acne Scar Treatment
Fractional laser and combination treatment for atrophic and boxcar acne scarring.
Laser Skin Rejuvenation
Overview
Laser skin rejuvenation delivers controlled energy into the skin to stimulate new collagen and improve tone, texture and fine lines. Non-ablative lasers work beneath the surface with little visible downtime; fractional and ablative lasers treat more aggressively with a longer recovery. The right choice depends on your skin type, the concern being treated and how much downtime you can accommodate.
What is Laser Skin Rejuvenation?
Restore Brighter, Smoother & Younger-Looking Skin
Laser Skin Rejuvenation is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that helps improve the appearance of sun damage, pigmentation, fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven skin tone. Using advanced laser technology, this treatment stimulates natural collagen production while targeting damaged skin cells, revealing healthier, smoother, and more radiant skin.
Whether you’re looking to reduce the signs of ageing or refresh your complexion, Laser Skin Rejuvenation offers a safe and effective solution with minimal downtime.

Risks and side effects
Redness and downtime
Proportional to the intensity chosen — non-ablative has minimal downtime, ablative has the most.
Pigment changes
Temporary darkening or lightening can occur, more common with higher-intensity devices and in darker skin tones.
Multiple sessions needed
A course of 3–5 sessions is typical for full benefit, not a single treatment.
Rarer complications
- Burns or scarring — Rare with correctly calibrated, medical-grade devices, but a risk of incorrectly matched settings for your skin type.
What it costs
What affects the price
Device intensity chosen
Ablative and fractional treatments are generally priced higher than non-ablative, reflecting the more significant equipment and downtime involved.
Number of sessions
A course of 3–5 sessions is typical and usually priced as a package.
