Acne vulgaris affects a large number of both genders, occurring in 60% of women and 70% of men. It is a long-term skin condition that is characterized by inflammation.
Acne is an inflammatory condition that occurs when pores and sebaceous glands become clogged, resulting in blackheads and pimples.
The CO2® Laser is the most recommended treatment for acne scars. For over 30 years, it has been considered the gold standard in skin rejuvenation.
Depending on the type of skin and the depth of the marks, an average of 3 to 6 CO2 laser sessions are recommended.
The CO2 Laser we use generates heat in the skin’s deep layers, protecting it from burning on its surface. This results in increased collagen production and a more intense rejuvenation.
Healing is also faster, allowing the patient to resume their activities more quickly.
The Deka laser we use in acne scar treatment, offers more comfort to the patient during the procedure. It rejuvenates the skin through a controlled thermal effect rather than by burning it, as fractionated lasers do.
The treatment provides a significant improvement in blemishes, glow, and skin texture. The results are visible in the first days after the laser application.

One of the most common acne treatments is Retinoic acid peeling. It’s a non-surgical procedure used after the crystal peeling that uses medication to penetrate and peel the skin’s top layers. This method is effective in fighting pimples and renewing the skin safely and efficiently.
We combine different types of peels, including Retinoic acid, Cimel, Jessner, Acnelan, and Crystal peels, in the same session to achieve better results. This enhances the effects of the acne treatment, leaving the skin smoother, softer, and more uniform.
The CO2 laser is not painful. We use a strong anesthetic cream, an air jet cooler, and a post-laser mask to make the procedure safer and more comfortable.
According to the Brazilian Society of Dermatology, acne is a skin condition that happens when hair follicles (pores) get blocked due to too much oil in the skin or a buildup of keratin and dead cells.

Unlike most other lasers, the Deka Laser uses pulsed technology to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin without damaging the superficial layers. We also use a strong local anesthetic cream and a skin cooler device (Freddo) to maximize patient comfort and make the procedure less painful.
The treatment’s response time varies depending on age, skin type, and the depth of the marks, among other factors. 14 days after the CO2 laser session, there is already an improvement in the glow and quality of the skin. Acne scars usually begin to improve 30 to 45 days after the session, because this is when the body reaches its peak of collagen production following the laser treatment. According to patient reports, the results continue to improve for 6 months and may even last up to a year after the session.
Soon after the procedure, there may be some redness, swelling, and mild to moderate stinging may occur, but these symptoms usually subside quickly. Within 24 hours, a light crust forms, which heals within 4 to 6 days (for the face) and 10 to 15 days (for the body) with the prescribed medication.
The patient should avoid excessive sun exposure during treatment and stop acid and hydroquinone treatments three days before the session.
After the CO2 laser treatment, Dr. Szerman prescribes medicines to help the skin heal. On average, the face heals in 4 to 6 days. After 24 hours of CO2 laser treatment, a light crust forms on the skin. Doctors can provide procedures for rejuvenation as well as cicatrization medicines to aid in the recovery.

No. To understand the differences, listen to the audio. Dr. Kumar Patel developed the first model, a non-fractional laser, in 1964. The technology has advanced a lot since then.
The Fractional Laser was introduced in 2004, followed by the Pulsed Laser (Deka Italia), which we use in our office. The Fractional & Pulsed CO2 Laser is cutting-edge technology because, unlike most fractional lasers on the market, it promotes rejuvenation through heat rather than burning. This is because heat is the most effective collagen booster. [Learn how to treat acne scars now].
No. The fractional CO2 laser is also very effective in treatments for rejuvenation, flaccidity, stretch marks, and melasma.
The number of sessions required by the patient depends on the severity of the acne problem and the patient’s response to treatment.

Retinoic acid peels can be applied to the patient’s face and body.
Retinoic acid peels are a comfortable procedure as they do not cause any pain or discomfort that requires the use of anesthetics.
The cost of retinoic acid treatment varies according to the severity of the problem and the number of sessions required.

The use of Retinoic acid and Crystal peels together can be effective in treating pimples and preventing new acne outbreaks.
Following a retinoic acid peel, there may be some flaking of the skin, as well as some redness and sensitivity. These effects are usually mild and will fade over time.
After the first few retinoic acid peeling sessions, you may notice an improvement in the texture of your skin. However, the outcome depends on how your skin reacts to the treatment. We have treated thousands of patients over the years and can confidently say that the majority of them are very pleased with the results.
It is crucial to limit your sun exposure if you have undergone acne treatment with a retinoic acid peel. It’s also essential to have your dermatologist look over any products you use before and after the procedure.
