Smooth Acne Scars Without Ablative Downtime

PicoWay stimulates fresh collagen beneath your skin's surface without removing protective layers. Most patients see progressive texture improvement over 3 to 6 months after completing series.
  • Non-ablative protects skin barrier
  • Safe for active acne-prone skin
  • Average 1 to 2 days downtime
  • Results improve for months after treatment

Acne scar laser treatment at InjectCo smooths depressed scars without aggressive resurfacing. Our PicoWay system triggers collagen production deep in dermis where scars actually form. Your texture improves progressively as fresh tissue fills indentations from beneath.

Every treatment is performed by a licensed registered nurse under physician supervision. We use non-ablative approach that keeps your protective barrier intact throughout healing. Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Austin, Colleyville, Argyle, Waxahachie, and The Woodlands locations serve you.

Book your free consultation to assess your acne scar type and severity. No pressure, no sales tactics, just honest guidance about what's realistically achievable. Most patients start treatment within same week as their consultation.

Stimulate Collagen Where Acne Scars Actually Live

Acne scars form when inflammation destroys collagen deep in your dermis. Surface treatments like creams can't reach this depth to make real difference. PicoWay creates controlled micro-injuries beneath surface to trigger collagen production exactly where needed.

The photoacoustic effect uses sound waves to stimulate tissue without ablating skin. Your body responds by producing fresh collagen and elastin in treated zones. This new tissue gradually fills depressed scars from the inside out over months.

Most patients need 4 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Results continue improving for 3 to 4 months after your final treatment. Book your free consultation to get your personalized treatment timeline and pricing.

Non-Ablative Approach Protects Your Skin Barrier

Ablative lasers like CO2 or Erbium vaporize your entire top skin layer. This forces regeneration but leaves raw dermis exposed for 7 to 14 days. You face significant oozing, crusting, and infection risk during prolonged healing.

PicoWay uses non-ablative technology that keeps your epidermis completely intact. Micro-columns of energy penetrate beneath surface without breaking protective barrier. You heal in 1 to 2 days instead of weeks with no raw skin exposure.

Photoacoustic Effect Triggers Healing Response

Traditional scar lasers use photothermal effect which heats tissue to damage point. Heat triggers collagen production but also risks burns and new scarring. Darker skin tones face higher risk because melanin absorbs more thermal energy.

PicoWay's photoacoustic effect uses rapid pressure waves instead of sustained heat. Mechanical disruption creates controlled injury without thermal damage. This stimulates collagen production without inflammatory complications that worsen scarring.

Progressive Results Peak Months After Treatment

Don't expect overnight transformation with acne scar treatment. Your body needs time to produce and organize new collagen fibers. Initial improvements appear within 4 to 6 weeks after first session.

Results continue developing for 12 to 16 weeks following your final treatment. Each session builds on previous ones for cumulative texture improvement. Most patients maintain results for years with proper skincare maintenance routine.

Treat Different Acne Scar Types Effectively

Acne scar laser treatment addresses several scar types with PicoWay technology. Rolling scars with gentle slopes respond well to collagen stimulation. Boxcar scars with defined edges improve significantly over treatment series.

Ice pick scars are deepest and most challenging but still show improvement. Hypertrophic scars that rise above skin surface flatten with targeted treatment. Each scar type responds at different rates to laser energy stimulation.

Your free consultation identifies which scar types you have today. We create customized treatment plan based on scar depth and distribution patterns. Book your assessment to discover which approach works best for your concerns.

Rolling Scars Respond Fastest to Treatment

Rolling scars have gentle sloped edges where collagen tethers skin downward. These respond excellently to collagen stimulation therapies. New tissue fills valleys gradually to level with surrounding skin texture.

Most rolling scars improve 50 to 70% after 4 to 6 treatments. Some patients see enough improvement after 3 sessions to stop there. Your provider photographs progress to determine when you've reached your goals.

Boxcar Scars Need More Sessions

Boxcar scars have sharply defined edges like chicken pox scars. These require more treatments because edges are steep and defined. Collagen must build significantly to raise depressed floor to surface level.

Expect 5 to 7 sessions for moderate boxcar scar improvement. Some deep boxcar scars benefit from combining laser with subcision procedure. Your consultation determines if combination approach serves your specific scarring pattern.

Ice Pick Scars Show Modest Improvement

Ice pick scars penetrate deeply like narrow tunnels into dermis. These are most challenging acne scars to improve with any treatment. Laser helps but realistic expectations matter for this scar type especially.

Some improvement is achievable but complete elimination is unrealistic. Combining laser with TCA CROSS or punch excision delivers better results. Your provider recommends most effective combination for your ice pick scars.

Why PicoWay Works Better for Acne Scars?

InjectCo researched every acne scar treatment option before investing in PicoWay. Ablative lasers like CO2 work but require 10 to 14 days downtime. Microneedling helps but needs 8 to 12 sessions for visible results.

PicoWay delivers comparable improvement to ablative lasers without extended downtime. Non-ablative approach means you heal in days instead of weeks. You get effective collagen stimulation without removing your protective skin barrier.

You deserve treatment that actually works without disrupting your entire life. We chose PicoWay because it balances efficacy with safety effectively. Book your free consultation to see the difference for yourself today.

Safer Than Ablative CO2 Laser Resurfacing

CO2 lasers vaporize entire epidermis to trigger dramatic collagen remodeling. This works powerfully but carries significant risks including scarring and infection. Recovery involves 10 to 14 days of oozing, crusting, and extreme sun sensitivity.

PicoWay achieves collagen stimulation without ablating protective skin barrier. Lower risk profile makes treatment accessible to more patients safely. You get meaningful improvement without catastrophic complication potential of ablative procedures.

Faster Results Than Microneedling Alone

Microneedling creates tiny punctures to trigger collagen production gradually. This works but typically requires 8 to 12 sessions for visible improvement. Results take 6 to 9 months to become apparent to others.

PicoWay delivers visible improvement in 4 to 6 sessions over same timeframe. Photoacoustic effect creates stronger stimulus than mechanical puncturing. Most patients see better results in fewer treatments with laser versus needling.

Lower Risk Than Subcision for Tethered Scars

Subcision uses needle to release fibrous bands tethering scars downward. This mechanical release helps but carries bruising and bleeding risks. Some patients develop lumps or irregularities from subcision procedure.

PicoWay stimulates collagen to fill scars without mechanical cutting required. Non-invasive approach eliminates bleeding and bruising concerns entirely. Combining both treatments delivers best results for severe tethered scarring.

Your journey starts with thorough assessment of scar types and severity. We evaluate skin type, active acne status, and previous treatment attempts. Then we create personalized plan that fits your goals and budget realistically.

Free Consultation Includes Scar Type Assessment

We photograph your scarring in consistent lighting for accurate progress tracking. Your scar types get classified as rolling, boxcar, or ice pick. Skin type evaluation determines which laser settings we'll use safely.

You'll receive realistic improvement estimate based on your specific scar characteristics. We set expectations about what's achievable versus unrealistic goals. Ask any questions you have without feeling rushed or pressured into decisions.

Treatment Sessions Last 30 to 45 Minutes

Your registered nurse provider cleanses treatment area thoroughly before starting. The PicoWay Resolve handpiece delivers systematic micro-beam pattern over scars. You'll feel tingling sensation and mild warmth during laser delivery.

Sessions last 30 to 45 minutes depending on treatment area size. Most patients describe sensation as tolerable throughout entire procedure. Some areas feel more sensitive than others based on nerve density.

Minimal Downtime After Each Session

Expect mild redness and slight swelling for 24 to 48 hours maximum. Your skin may feel tight or sensitive like mild sunburn temporarily. These effects fade quickly without interfering with work or activities.

Apply gentle moisturizer and SPF 50+ sunscreen throughout healing period. Avoid harsh products like retinols or acids for one week post-treatment. Most patients schedule sessions on Thursday or Friday for weekend healing.

Results Develop Progressively Over Months

Don't judge your results immediately after treatment or even after one session. Your body needs time to produce new collagen in treated areas. Initial improvements become visible 6 to 8 weeks after first treatment.

Each session builds on previous ones for cumulative texture improvement effect. Peak results appear 3 to 4 months after your final session. We photograph progress at every appointment so you see gradual transformation clearly.

Your consultation includes detailed cost breakdown based on your specific needs. We help you prioritize treatment areas based on budget and goals. Some patients treat face first then add chest or back later.

Series Packages Lock in Lower Rates

Common Questions About Acne Scar Laser Treatment

Can I Do This If I Still Get Breakouts?

Active acne doesn't prevent laser treatment but should be controlled first. Treating active inflammation simultaneously with scars confuses healing response. We recommend getting breakouts under control before starting scar treatments.

Your consultation includes acne management recommendations if needed. Once active acne is controlled you can safely begin scar treatment. Some patients use prescription treatments during laser series for maintenance.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

Most acne scar patients achieve optimal results with 4 to 6 sessions. Some see enough improvement after 3 sessions to stop there. Others with severe scarring benefit from 6 to 8 sessions total.

Your consultation includes realistic session estimate based on scar severity. We photograph progress to evaluate when you've reached your goals. You control when to stop based on visible improvement achieved.

Will This Completely Remove My Scars?

Laser improves acne scar texture significantly but rarely eliminates scars completely. Realistic expectation is 50 to 70% improvement in texture and depth. Deep ice pick scars show modest improvement compared to rolling scars.

Setting realistic expectations prevents disappointment with your results. Some improvement is almost always achievable with proper protocols. Complete perfection is unrealistic goal for acne scar treatment.

Is This Safe for My Darker Skin?

PicoWay's ultra-low thermal impact makes it safe for Fitzpatrick types I through VI. This includes olive, brown, and black skin that other lasers scar. Non-ablative approach eliminates raw skin exposure that causes pigmentation problems.

Your consultation includes Fitzpatrick assessment and test spot if needed. We adjust energy levels specifically for your melanin content safely. Conservative approach prioritizes safety over aggressive treatment that backfires.

Can I Combine This with Other Treatments?

Yes, acne scar treatment often combines well with other modalities. Microneedling between laser sessions accelerates collagen production. Subcision for tethered scars complements laser stimulation nicely.

Your provider coordinates combination treatments so they enhance rather than interfere. Many patients also use prescription retinoids for ongoing texture improvement. Comprehensive approach delivers better results than single treatment alone.

How Long Do Results Last?

Acne scar improvement from laser is permanent once collagen forms. Your scars won't return to original depth after successful treatment. Maintaining results requires proper skincare and sun protection habits. New acne breakouts can create new scars if not controlled properly. Good skincare routine preserves your investment in scar treatment. Most patients maintain improvement indefinitely with basic maintenance approach.
