Laser Acne & Acne Scar Treatments in Charlotte, NC

At illumeMD, we provide advanced laser solutions to treat both active breakouts and the scars acne leaves behind. Using the Lutronic Clarity II and Rohrer Pico Laser, we help clients achieve smoother, clearer, and healthier-looking skin with minimal downtime.

Treating Active Acne with Lasers

  • How it works: Laser energy targets overactive oil glands and acne-causing bacteria, reducing inflammation and helping prevent new breakouts.

  • Benefits: Fewer breakouts, less redness, improved skin texture, and reduced need for harsh topical or oral medications.

  • Sessions: Most clients see results with a series of 3–6 treatments, spaced a few weeks apart.

Treating Acne Scars with Lasers

  • Types of scars treated:

    • Atrophic scars (pitted/indented scars)

    • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark marks)

    • Redness and textural irregularities

  • How it works: The Pico laser delivers ultra-short pulses of energy that stimulate collagen remodeling and skin renewal, improving scar texture and tone over time.

  • Sessions: Visible improvements typically after 2–3 sessions, with continued results as new collagen develops.

What to Expect

  • Treatment time: Most sessions take 20–40 minutes, depending on the area treated.

  • Sensation: Clients describe the feeling as a quick snapping or warming sensation. Cooling methods keep treatment comfortable.

  • Downtime: Minimal. You may notice temporary redness or mild swelling for 1–2 days. Makeup can usually be applied the next day.

  • Results: Skin clarity improves gradually over several weeks. With scar treatments, results continue to build for 3–6 months after your last session.
