I’d like to ask, which treatment combination works best for my type of acne scarring (both sides of m
Non-invasive PicoSure or Icon Laser System for Acne Scars
Dec 30, 2019
Hello and thank you for your question and for the excellent photos.
In our practice we use the PicoSure laser and/or the Icon laser platform to treat the appearance of scars such as yours. There are some differences between the two but basically both work to remodel the skin from the inside out to minimize or eliminate the appearance. Both treatments are non invasive (no needles, no cutting, no suturing), and best results are seen after a series of treatments-usually a…
What should I do about the type of acne scars I have?
Icon Laser System to Reduce Scars
Nov 26, 2019
Hello and thank you for your question and providing photos. In our practice we have had high patient satisfaction with the scar treatment we offer using the Icon Laser System by CynoSure. This involves a series of treatments using laser and IPL, both of which are non invasive (non surgical and no needles) and can be combined in one appointment. Laser energy emitted by the non ablative fractional laser reaches deeply into skin’s sublayers without harming the skin’s surface…
What types of treatment do you recommend for cystic acne scars?
Laser Treatment May Help Reduce Scars
Oct 21, 2019
Hello and thank you for your question and for providing photos. In our practice, to treat the scars resulting from cystic acne, we have used the Icon Laser Platform to perform a “Three For Me”, which is three treatments performed all in one appointment (two laser treatments and an IPL). We have had very satisfied patients and have seen excellent results. This treatment is non-invasive (no surgery, no needles), you will experience limited to zero down time, and…
Is there any way I can make my scar not so intense looking?
Laser Treatment Can Help Reduce Scar
Jul 13, 2019
Hello and thank you for your question and for providing a photo. In our practice, we use the Icon laser system by Cynosure for Scar Reduction. This is a non-surgical and non-invasive treatment, i.e. no cutting, suturing, etc. While treating a scar with the Icon system can reduce the appearance, size and thickness of the scar, it is not a “reshaping” or “reconstructive” procedure such as a plastic or reconstructive surgeon would perform in an operating room environment…

Non-Invasive Laser Treatment Can Be Effective If You Are Committed
Nov 5, 2018
Hello and thank you for your question and for providing photos.
In our practice we have had very good success in treating similar skin concerns using either PicoSure laser or Icon laser plus IPL (Intense Pulsed Light). Both systems are made by CynoSure, a worldwide leader in medical aesthetic quality lasers. Put simply, both PicoSure and Icon Platforms use laser technology to repair deep scarring from deep within your skin, while stimulating new collagen and elastin…
How do I treat melasma and hyperpigmentation in my 50s?
PicoSure for Melasma
Oct 24, 2018
Hello and thank you for your question. In our practice we have had some patients see excellent results with PicoSure treatments for melasma. You usually want to think initially terms of a series of treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart, and then maintenance treatments once every 6-12 months after that.
With that being said, everyone is different and not all patients respond to melasma treatment in the same way. Melasma can be a challenge to treat and in some…

PicoSure Excellent Choice vs. Co2 for Pigmentation/Sun Spots
Oct 5, 2018
Hello and thank you for your question and for providing photos. We completely agree with the answers and information provided by our highly qualified colleague, Dr. Riehm. There are excellent alternatives to Co2 to correct color, tone, texture, pigment, and fine lines.
In our practice we use the PicoSure laser to treat these skin concerns (we have been using PicoSure since it was FDA approved almost 5 years ago), and it is one of our most popular…
