About Acne Marks

Acne marks are color changes that remain after inflammation subsides, and they can be divided into red marks caused by dilated blood vessels and brown marks from post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. They differ in cause and treatment from depressed scars.

Red marks are treated with Excel V+, a vascular laser with 532 nm and 1064 nm wavelengths, and brown marks with toning lasers such as LUCAS toning, LUCAS dual toning, RevLite toning and CosJET Genesis, step by step according to the type of mark.

At 3Leaf Clover Clinic, we check the color and depth of marks through Meta-View skin analysis and photo documentation, then recommend a suitable plan such as the 10-week acne mark package alternating Excel V+ and toning.

If you have a lot of active acne, acne treatment may be performed first.

A prior consultation is required if you are taking photosensitizing medication or are pregnant.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How do acne marks differ from acne scars?

Marks are color changes that remain, such as redness or brown pigmentation, while scars are areas where skin tissue has been damaged, leaving depressions or unevenness. Depressed scars are treated with renewal treatments such as Pico Fraxel and Potenza.

Q. Will marks fade on their own over time?

They sometimes fade, but depending on skin condition they may remain for several months or longer. After identifying the type of mark, laser treatment can help.

Q. Why are several lasers alternated?

Because lasers acting on blood vessels suit red marks, while lasers acting on pigment suit brown marks. The two types are often mixed, so the lasers are alternated week by week.

Q. Does it hurt?

You may feel a rubber band-like snap or warmth, but discomfort tends to be relatively low. The level of sensation varies from person to person.

Q. How many sessions do I need?

It depends on the color and depth of the marks, and we generally recommend a 10-week course, once a week. The degree of improvement varies from person to person.
