Acne Scars

If you're one of the millions struggling with acne scars, you don't have to accept them anymore. At Cary Laser Aesthetics, Dr. Polavaram delivers Icon laser treatments that minimize or even eliminate your acne scars. Dr. Polavaram can treat depressed acne scars, ice pick acne scars, and most other kinds using the Cynosure Icon 1540 non-ablative fractional laser.

How the Treatment Works

During acne scar treatment, Dr. Polavaram uses a handheld laser device to send highly concentrated light into your scar tissue. The light breaks your scar tissue apart, and over the coming weeks and months, you'll absorb and eliminate the tissue harmlessly. The laser also prompts your body to make new elastin and collagen.
