How Does Laser Treatment Work for Acne Scars?
Laser treatment minimizes the appearance of acne scars in the same way it works to address many other unwanted skin conditions. The foundation of laser skin therapy is the use of an intense beam of light energy to heat the skin.
Once the scarred outer layer of your skin has been heated, it can be peeled away to reveal a fresh, healthy layer of skin. The controlled heat from the laser also promotes collagen production, resulting in more refreshed, radiant skin.

What Can I Do to Maximize My Laser Acne Scar Treatment Results?
Dr. Emer consistently exceeds patient expectations for acne scar treatment by strategically combining procedures. His approach to using laser treatment for acne scars often incorporates dermatological peels before and after your procedure to maximize your results. He may recommend one of the following as part of your laser acne scar treatment:
Cosmelan Peel
Dr. Emer uses this leave-on peel to pretreat the skin for laser skin therapy. In addition to complementing your laser treatment, this peel is a preferred method of boosting skin cell production. By encouraging the efficient elimination of dead skin cells, Cosmelan can improve skin texture, lift pigment, and minimize fine lines. Cosmelan is particularly beneficial for patients with darker skin types, as it reduces the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation after laser treatment.
Enlighten Peel
Dr. Emer developed this gentler variation of the Cosmelan peel to meet the needs of patients who want to reduce time between peels. As it has many of the same components as Cosmelan, it is also a great way to prepare skin for laser treatment and enhance post-treatment improvements.
If a peel is not right for you, Dr. Emer may suggest alternative skin care protocols to ensure that you get the best possible results from your laser acne scar treatment in Beverly Hills.
How Much Does Laser Acne Scar Removal Cost?
The cost of your laser acne scar removal will depend on your unique treatment plan. Since Dr. Emer often uses a combination approach to addressing acne scars, pricing can be affected by any complementary procedures you choose to have. The number of sessions required is another factor that impacts overall cost. You will be able to review the costs associated with your acne scar removal prior to your procedure.
