Advanced Treatments to Smooth Texture, Fade Discoloration, And Restore Your Skin’s Clarity
At Pentel Dermatology & Cosmetics, we specialize in treating all types of scarring—including post-acne marks, surgical scars, traumatic scars, and textural irregularities. Using a combination of laser therapy, microneedling, radiofrequency, and precision techniques, we personalize each plan to your skin type, scar pattern, and healing goals. Our treatments are safe for all skin tones and focus on long-term skin texture, tone, and confidence improvement.
What Types of Scars Do You Treat?
Below are the different types of scars we treat:
- Atrophic (indented) scars – common after acne, chickenpox, or trauma
- Hypertrophic or raised scars – thickened, firm scars after injury or surgery
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) – dark marks following acne or inflammation
Red or vascular scars – pink/red scars with visible capillaries
What Are the Benefits of Deep Fractional and Ablative Laser Resurfacing?
UltraClear®, Sciton TRL™, and UltraPulse® CO₂ lasers are powerful tools for skin resurfacing. They work by removing damaged tissue and promoting deep collagen remodeling, resulting in rejuvenated skin.
- Improves severe texture irregularities and rolling acne scars
- Smooths deep lines and scar edges
- Delivers transformative results over 1–2 sessions
- Moderate to significant downtime (depending on depth)
Best for: Deep atrophic scars and advanced resurfacing needs
What are Fractional Non-Ablative Laser Treatment Benefits for Acne Scars and Pigmentation?
Fraxel® DUAL (1550/1927 nm) is a treatment that stimulates collagen production and resurfaces damaged skin using a fractional method. This approach preserves the surrounding tissue, allowing for quicker healing.
- Fades pigmentation and refines scarred texture
- It improves tone, tightens pores, and enhances glow
- Minimal downtime, best in a series of treatments
Best for: Mild to moderate acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, and maintenance resurfacing
What Advantages Do Vascular Lasers Offer in Treating Red or Raised Scars?
Vbeam®, Excel V®, and DermaV are pulsed-dye and vascular lasers that target blood vessels and inflammation to reduce redness and enhance scar appearance.
- Effective for early acne scars, red surgical scars, and hypertrophic scars
- Minimizes visible capillaries and pink discoloration
- Comfortable with no downtime
Best for: Red or vascular scars and post-acne redness
How Does Microneedling RF Remodel Skin and Treat Indented Scars?
Microneedling RF (Morpheus8®, Genius®, Secret®, Profound®) is an advanced treatment that effectively combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy. This powerful combination stimulates collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin, resulting in smoother scars and a noticeably improved skin tone.
- Safe for all skin types and tones
- Minimal to moderate downtime
- Most effective in a series (3–6 treatments)
Best for: Boxcar, rolling, and mixed-type acne scars
What Are Subcision and Laser-Assisted Drug Delivery, And How Do They Improve Acne Scars?
Subcision is a technique used to treat scars, particularly acne scars, by inserting a needle under the skin to break up tethered tissue. This process helps to lift the skin and promote remodeling. Laser-assisted drug delivery can enhance this effect by facilitating the penetration of medications through the skin, aiding in the healing and improvement of scar appearance. Both techniques are used in dermatological treatments to improve skin texture and appearance.
- Often combined with Sculptra®, fillers, or PRP for enhanced volume restoration.
- This may include laser-assisted delivery of topical treatments (e.g., tranexamic acid, retinoids, steroids) for improved penetration.
- Minimal downtime with lasting results.
Best for: Tethered, depressed, or stubborn scars that haven’t responded to lasers alone
