What to know about laser resurfacing for acne scars

Have you been hearing a lot about lasers lately? That’s because it’s officially laser season, and we’re here to educate you on why now is the best time to get treated! We’ve already talked about how lasers can rejuvenate your skin, improving texture, reducing redness, and evening out discoloration. But today, we’re diving deep into one of the most life-changing benefits of laser treatments: acne scar reduction.

If you’ve been dealing with acne scars that justwon’t go away—no matter how many creams, serums, or treatments you’ve tried—then it’s time to consider laser resurfacing.

How MOXI Laser Treats Acne Scars

AtThe Beauty Barn®, we offer bothBBL® and MOXI® laser treatments, but when it comes to acne scars,MOXI® is your best bet. Here’s why:

✨Targets Skin Texture: MOXI® is anon-ablative laser, meaning it doesn’t remove the top layer of skin like some other lasers do. Instead, it creates tiny microchannels in the skin, triggering your body’s natural healing response.

✨Boosts Collagen Production: Those microchannels? They stimulate collagen production, which helps to fill in the depressions left by acne scars. Collagen is the key to smooth, youthful-looking skin, and as we age, our natural collagen levels decrease. Treatments like MOXI®, microneedling, and peels all work by encouraging your body to produce more collagen.

✨Minimal Downtime: Because MOXI® is non-ablative, the downtime is much lower compared to ablative lasers. You can return to your normal routine quickly, making it an easy and effective solution for acne scarring.

✨Safe for All Skin Types: One of the biggest advantages of MOXI®? It’s safe for all skin types, including sensitive and darker skin tones. Many laser treatments aren’t suitable for everyone, but MOXI® offers incredible results across the board.

Why Winter is the Best Time for Laser Resurfacing

If you’re considering laser treatment, now is the perfect time to start. Why?

☁️Less Sun Exposure – Before and after a laser session, it’scrucial to avoid sun exposure to prevent pigmentation issues. The cooler months naturally make it easier to stay out of the sun, ensuring your skin heals properly.

☁️Better Healing Conditions – Dry, cold weather means less sweating and irritation, allowing your skin to recover more comfortably.

☁️Prep for Glowing Spring & Summer Skin – By starting now, you’ll give your skin plenty of time to heal before the warmer months when you’ll want to show off that radiant, scar-free glow.
