Acne Scar Treatment in Toronto

Advanced Acne Scar Treatments Customized for Every Scar Type

Acne scars develop when inflammation damages the skin's collagen during healing. Some scars are caused by collagen loss (atrophic scars), while others result from excess scar tissue (hypertrophic and keloid scars). The most common acne scar types include ice pick scars, boxcar scars, rolling scars, hypertrophic scars, and keloid scars. Because many patients have more than one scar type, successful acne scar treatment usually requires a customized combination of advanced technologies.

While over-the-counter skincare products may improve discoloration, they cannot significantly remodel deep acne scars or restore lost collagen. At LMC – Laser Medical Clinic, we develop personalized acne scar treatment plans using the latest laser and regenerative technologies to achieve smoother, healthier-looking skin.

Secret PRO® RF Microneedling & Fractional CO₂ Laser

Secret PRO® RF Microneedling delivers radiofrequency energy deep into the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. It is highly effective for improving rolling acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, and overall skin quality while tightening the skin naturally.

The Secret PRO® Fractional CO₂ Laser resurfaces damaged skin by treating deeper acne scars and encouraging long-term collagen remodeling. Over time, skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more even in texture while improving the appearance of stubborn acne scars.

PICO Genesis® FX Fractional Picosecond Laser

PICO Genesis® FX expands the capabilities of the Cutera enlighten® platform by introducing advanced fractional picosecond laser technology for acne scars, textural concerns, enlarged pores, pigmentation, and skin rejuvenation. Its innovative Micro Lens Array (MLA) creates microscopic treatment zones within the epidermis and dermis, stimulating collagen remodeling while preserving surrounding healthy tissue.

Unlike traditional ablative resurfacing lasers, PICO Genesis® FX delivers highly effective skin remodeling with little to no downtime, making it ideal for patients with active lifestyles. The Cutera enlighten® laser penetrates deep into the dermis to remodel acne scars, improve skin texture, reduce post-inflammatory pigmentation, and restore smoother, healthier-looking skin on a wide variety of skin types.

PICO Genesis® vs. PICO Genesis® FX – Which Treatment Is Right for You?

Both PICO Genesis® and PICO Genesis® FX are performed using the advanced Cutera enlighten® III laser platform. While they use the same state-of-the-art picosecond technology, each treatment targets different layers of the skin to address different skin concerns. During your consultation, our laser specialists will determine which treatment—or combination of treatments—is best suited to your skin goals.

PICO Genesis® for Pigmentation & Skin Brightening

PICO Genesis® is designed to target unwanted pigmentation within the superficial layers of the skin. Using gentle, non-thermal picosecond laser pulses, it safely breaks down excess pigment while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue. It is an excellent treatment for melasma, sun spots, age spots, freckles, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), uneven skin tone, and dull skin. Patients often notice a brighter, more radiant complexion with improved skin clarity and refined pores.

PICO Genesis® FX for Acne Scars & Skin Texture

PICO Genesis® FX works deeper within the dermis using a fractional Micro Lens Array (MLA) to stimulate collagen remodeling and skin regeneration. It is ideal for treating acne scars, enlarged pores, fine lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, rough texture, and deeper pigmentation concerns. By encouraging new collagen and elastin production, PICO Genesis® FX helps create smoother, firmer, and healthier-looking skin with little to no downtime.

Can PICO Genesis® and PICO Genesis® FX Be Combined?

Absolutely. Many patients achieve the best results by combining PICO Genesis® and PICO Genesis® FX into a comprehensive skin rejuvenation plan. While PICO Genesis® focuses on correcting pigmentation and improving skin tone, PICO Genesis® FX remodels deeper collagen to improve acne scars, skin texture, and overall skin quality. Together, they provide a powerful non-surgical solution for brighter, smoother, younger-looking skin.
