Acne Scar Treatment
Moderate to severe acne can wreak havoc on your skin’s surface and underlying layers, leaving behind a landscape of scars—some flat and discoloured, pitted or indented skin. But here’s the good news: you don’t have to be defined by your acne scars. Our scar-resurfacing technology is meticulously designed to diminish the appearance of acne scars. What sets this technology apart is its remarkable ability to deliver transformative results without subjecting you to excessive downtime or prolonged healing periods. It’s a game-changer in scar reduction, offering you a path to smoother, clearer-looking skin.
How Does Our Acne Scar Treatment Work?
Restore your skin & regain your confidence
Our acne scar treatment lasers deliver light as tiny dots to your skin to boost the natural collagen production under your acne scars. The laser penetrates down to the deeper layers of your skin without damaging the skin’s surface.
Our laser is a non-ablative skin resurfacing system which means it does not destroy or ablate your skin cells. As a result, you don’t have to heal for 5-10 days like with other treatments out there. Our laser is also a fractional laser, meaning it only affects a fraction of your skin, leaving the rest to heal quickly.

FAQ's
ResurFX is an excellent treatment option if you are looking for a an improvement in the tone and texture of your acne scars.
ResurFX is contraindicated for patients with any of the following.
- Concurrent cancer or history of skin cancer
- Active infection or bacterial diseases.
- Avoid irritant topical agents (Retinol) for 3-4 days prior to treatment.
- Avoid tanning/excessive sun exposure for 4 weeks prior to treatment.
- Avoid applying makeup on the day of treatment.
We generally ask you to come to the clinic at least one hour before your treatment slot to apply the topical anaesthetic. Just before the treatment, we thoroughly cleanse your treatment area and then start the procedure. You may feel a heated, tingling sensation whilst the laser is working.
Unlike other fractional devices, ResurFX requires only one pass over the skin to produce effective results, reducing the overall treatment time and discomfort. In most cases, the procedure takes about 15-30 minutes.
In general, most people tolerate the treatment very well. ResurFX is less painful than other laser resurfacing treatments due to the state-of-the-art CoolScan scanner, which protects the skin from heat accumulation and overheating. With the numbing cream, most people only feel a mild stinging and tingling sensation with the treatment.
The downtime after ResurFX treatment is minimal although, you may get some redness and swelling immediately after your treatment. This redness lasts 2-days, but can last for up to 7 days in some people. Your skin may also feel a little rough in texture a day or two after treatment. This persists until the skin flakes off, revealing younger, smoother skin underneath. We do NOT recommend exfoliation of skin during this time.
You may experience some itchiness or skin sensitivity after the treatment. Both are indications of the natural renewal process and dissipate a few days after treatment.
Most skin care products can be used immediately after treatment – our staff will talk to you about any products to avoid following treatment. Most people apply their makeup and return to work the day after their treatment.
ResurFX requires a series of 3 or more treatments, repeated at 4–5-week intervals to improve your acne scars. Most people continue to see improvements for up to six months after their treatment.
The benefit of the ResurFX is that you can get great results with minimal recovery time. Although CO2 laser resurfacing can also improve acne scars, the downtime is 5-10 days. With CO2 treatment, most people experience peeling, crusting and swelling as well as redness in the treatment area for up to 6-months.
