Self conscious of scars? Now there is a solution.

Acne scars can occur as the skin heals from pimples, whiteheads and blackheads that form when oil, bacteria and dead cells get stuck below the skin's surface. Acne scars are typically indented marks or raised, red areas that sometimes give the skin a wavy appearance. Surgical scars, meanwhile, form naturally as skin heals from an incision.
Treatment of acne scars and surgical scars requires both the removal of damaged skin and the production of new collagen to improve the area's tone and texture. Traditional approaches - such as deep chemical peeling, conventional lasers, topical agents and abrasion therapies - usually achieve only moderate results or, worse, they destroy a lot of healthy tissue along with the scar. In addition, these treatments often require extensive recovery time.

Unlike other procedures, Fraxel® treatment removes damaged skin on the surface and reaches deep into the skin to stimulate collagen remodeling. In this way, Fraxel® treatment improves the elasticity, texture and tone of your damaged skin while keeping your healthy tissue intact - which minimizes any discomfort or downtime. It's no wonder that doctors consider Fraxel® treatment the most effective answer for acne scars:

The FDA has approved Fraxel® treatment to safely and gently reduce the appearance of acne scars and surgical scars. And according to a study published in Dermatologic Therapy by Dr. Vic A. Narurkar, Fraxel® treatment provides more consistent, successful results than any other procedure for treating acne scars.

An alternative treatment for acne scars offered at Clear Complexions is Novaderm Dermal Stimulation. Novaderm dermal stimulation fills scars and soften wrinkles using the skin's own repair mechanism to build new collagen. This method is safe, effective and will deliver outstanding results.
