FAQ

Common questions about Acne Scar Treatment.

How many sessions will I need?
Most courses are 4–6 sessions. Severe scarring may need a longer plan; we discuss this before starting.
Is there downtime?
3–5 days of redness and shedding after laser; subcision and MNRF are usually back-to-routine in 24–48 hours.
Will my scars completely disappear?
Honest answer: scars improve significantly but rarely vanish. The aim is a smoother, more even-toned skin you no longer feel self-conscious about.
