Our latest blog post by Roy Geronemus, MD, and David Hashemi, MD, breaks down how to choose the most effective laser treatments for different types of acne scars.

Not all acne scars are alike—some are deep and pitted, others are red, raised, or discolored. Each type requires a tailored treatment approach using specific laser technologies for the best outcomes.

The post highlights advanced, non-ablative options like AVAVATM Miria and the combination of Radiofrequency Microneedling with Fraxel®, as recently published by Dr. Geronemus. These techniques offer meaningful improvements in texture and tone with minimal downtime. For red or vascular scars, Vbeam® remains the gold standard, while deeper resurfacing tools like Sciton ProFractional® and Fractional CO2 are best suited for select cases.

The AVAVA Miria™ Laser offers next-generation skin resurfacing that uses precision laser pulses to target skin imperfections, stimulate collagen, and promote smoother, firmer skin with minimal discomfort and fast recovery.
