One of the greatest pleasures of being a Laser Specialist is seeing a client return -- their original demeanor of low self-esteem gone -- face and skin glowing, head held high, smiling and thanking our staff for the change to their life.

Acne and acne scars are truly not just skin-deep. They effect the way a person sees themselves, the way they interact with others, even their expectations of their own future -- what job they aspire to, what quality of mate they think they deserve...all based on the rejection they have actually received, or have only perceived, because of their active acne or facial scars. Either way, it's real to them.

C02 Laser Fractional Skin Resurfacing has changed all of that.

First, let me clear up a little confusion. I've called this article Fraxel Before After Acne because alot of people think that "Fraxel" is the name of the procedure. Fraxel is really just a brand name (one of many companies that make C02 lasers. Our laser is made by Matrix). The actual procedure is called Fractional Resurfacing or Skin Resurfacing.

At Beautiful Laser Center, we have developed a cutting-edge technique with fractional resurfacing that takes acne scar reduction to the next level. Years of development and testing with our science and medical team, and many patient clients, have brought us such success in acne scar reduction that clients come from as far away as Costa Rica and Canada for our treatment plan. The skin resurfacing results are spectacular after only one treatment, but most clients choose 3-5 for continuing improvement.

Treatments can be performed as often as every 4 to 6 weeks. Expect heavy redness and some swelling for up to three days after and then 3-5 additional days of exfoliating off the dead skin. New skin (from your own body's now-boosted collagen and elastin production) will show up every 30 days for up to 6 months. It's very important to take lots of Vitamin C before, during and after (with your doc's permission) to help your body heal quicker.

Our active acne treatments are also highly successful, utilizing the ND:Yag Laser to dry up sebaceous glands, followed by red and blue-light therapy to kill the acne vulgaris and reduce inflammation, and then a proprietary topical -- our own product: Ultra Coconut Oil -- to soothe the skin and assist in further taking down the cause of the outbreak, the acne vulgaris.

The best part of all? We keep a small specialized staff that allows us to offer prices that are affordable to everyone. Our most important goal is to give you a fresh look at your life with brand new skin!
