For those seeking to diminish the lasting marks of acne, Ozarks Dermatology Specialists offers the latest treatment technology, the Lumenis UltraPulse® CO2 laser, to help reduce scarring and redness while providing a smoother, more even skin texture.
The UltraPulse® is a powerful solution and widely regarded as the gold standard for deep scar and redness reduction. This treatment option is an outpatient procedure that uses a topical anesthetic to control pain or discomfort while the targeted laser treatment is administered.
For the best results, two treatments spaced four to six months apart, are recommended. Patients may experience redness, mild scabbing, and/or swelling during the week following treatment. Sun protection is also required for 4-6 weeks to avoid hyperpigmentation of the skin.
Treatment for acne scars is considered an elective procedure and not covered by most insurance providers. Prices, as well as post-treatment care, will be discussed at the time of consultation.
If you’re interested in reducing the appearance of your acne scars, please call our office today at (417) 889-3332 and schedule a time to speak with Dr. Lesley Hawley.
