Laser Scar Treatment
Soften and refine the appearance of scars, including old acne scars and surgical scars, with targeted Aerolase laser treatment.
What Is LaserScar Treatment?
A scar is skin that healed in a hurry: collagen laid down fast and unevenly, leaving texture and tone that don't match their surroundings. Laser scar treatment works by giving that tissue a second chance to remodel.
The Aerolase medical laser delivers targeted energy into the scar, encouraging the tissue to reorganize and the surface to even out. Over a series of comfortable, low-downtime sessions, old acne scars and surgical scars gradually soften, and skin texture and tone become more uniform.
At Marie Jé Aesthetics, treatment plans are paced to your skin and your scars, because a decade-old surgical scar and last year's acne scarring rarely need the same approach.
Deeper, etched scars may call for fractional CO2 instead. If you have Asian or pigment-prone skin, read whether CO2 laser is safe for Asian skin before deciding.
Who Is Laser Scar Treatment For?
Scar treatment is for marks your skin made before it had a better option.
The honest answer comes from a consultation. Marie assesses your scars, their age, and your skin before recommending a plan.
You have old acne scarring
Pitted and uneven texture from past breakouts gradually smooths as tissue remodels.
You have a surgical scar
Targeted energy softens the raised or discolored line a procedure left behind.
Your skin tone looks uneven around scars
Treatment works on tone as well as texture, blending scars toward the surrounding skin.
You want gradual, natural improvement
Results build progressively over a series, so change never looks abrupt.
Where ScarTreatment Works
Scar treatment goes wherever the scars are. On the face, that's most often the cheeks and jawline from past acne, and the forehead or chin from injuries and procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can old scars really improve?
Yes. Scar tissue keeps its capacity to remodel for years. The Aerolase encourages that remodeling, and while a scar's age and depth shape the outcome, most scars can soften and blend meaningfully. Marie will give you an honest assessment at your consultation.
Does laser scar treatment hurt?
Sessions are designed to be comfortable, with minimal discomfort and minimal downtime. Marie will walk you through exactly what treatment feels like before you begin.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the scar's age, depth, and how your skin responds. Improvement is progressive across a series, and Marie will recommend a personalized plan at your consultation.
I still get breakouts. Should I treat acne or scars first?
Active acne comes first, since new breakouts can create new scars. Our Aerolase laser acne treatment clears active acne, and scar treatment follows as the dedicated second step. The two sequence naturally.
Does it work on scars from surgery as well as acne?
Yes. The Aerolase treats a wide range of scars, including old acne scarring and surgical scars, working on both texture and tone.
