Atrophic scars are a very common form of acne scarring which affects the texture or smoothness of the skin.  These scars are referred to as “atrophic” because of the hardening nature of the tissue that creates a rolling or wrinkling effect to the skin and tissue.  Oftentimes, a red-based pigment is associated with this form of scarring.

Non-ablative (no downtime, non-invasive) lasers may offer mild improvement to the texture of the skin depending on how significant the scarring is.  Non-ablative lasers to resolve the red-based pigment usually render excellent results.  Laser resurfacing with ablative (invasive with downtime) lasers is a good option for providing more dramatic improvement.
