Acne scars can be a lasting reminder of past breakouts—long after the acne itself has cleared. Many people in Dubai struggle with these marks and feel self-conscious about their skin texture. While creams and home remedies can help to some extent, laser skin rejuvenation offers one of the most effective and scientifically backed ways to reduce acne scars and restore smoother, clearer skin.
At Dr. Rami Hamed Center (DRHC) in Dubai, our dermatology specialists often meet patients who feel discouraged after trying many treatments without success. The good news is that modern laser technologies can significantly improve acne scars with minimal downtime and lasting results.
Let’s explore how laser rejuvenation works, what you can expect, and how to get the best results safely.
Before diving into treatment, it helps to understand why acne scars form. When acne becomes inflamed, it can damage the deeper layers of the skin. As the skin heals, it may produce too little or too much collagen—the protein responsible for skin strength and structure.
This uneven healing process can lead to different types of scars, such as:
Laser rejuvenation targets these imperfections at their root—deep within the skin—helping to stimulate new collagen and smooth uneven areas over time.
Laser rejuvenation uses concentrated light energy to safely remove damaged skin cells and trigger the body’s natural healing response. At DRHC Dubai, dermatologists carefully select the type and intensity of the laser based on your scar type, skin tone, and sensitivity.
Here’s how it works:
With each session, scars become less noticeable, and your overall skin texture improves naturally.
Dubai’s environment—strong sun exposure, heat, and humidity—can often make acne scars more visible and delay skin healing. Laser rejuvenation is a safe and effective solution for residents because it offers:
At DRHC, every treatment is performed under dermatological supervision to ensure results are both effective and safe for your specific skin type.
To get the most from your acne scar treatment, here are a few important tips:
Every skin type and scar pattern is unique. A consultation at DRHC Dubai allows our specialists to evaluate your scars and recommend the most suitable laser approach—such as fractional laser, CO₂ laser, or non-ablative laser.
Laser-treated skin is sensitive to sunlight. Avoid direct sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to prevent pigmentation or irritation.
You may be asked to avoid certain skincare products, retinoids, or exfoliants before your session. After treatment, keeping the skin moisturized and avoiding heat or harsh products is key to smooth healing.
Although some improvement is visible after the first session, acne scars usually require multiple treatments spaced several weeks apart for optimal results. The skin continues to remodel and improve gradually.
After laser rejuvenation, gentle cleansing, hydration, and ongoing sun protection are essential to maintain your results and prevent new breakouts.
