The Science
How It Works
The Erbium laser precisely removes the damaged surface layers of skin over and around scar tissue, triggering the body's collagen remodeling response. As new collagen fills in the depressed areas, scar depth diminishes and skin texture becomes progressively smoother and more uniform. Multiple sessions compound the results.

Best Acne Scar Treatment in NYC: Is Laser Right for You?
Among the many acne scar treatments available in New York City - including chemical peels, microneedling, subcision, and dermal fillers - Erbium laser resurfacing consistently delivers the most measurable improvement in scar depth and skin texture for atrophic scarring.
The key advantage of laser over other modalities is its ability to precisely resurface the skin at a controlled depth, triggering collagen remodeling exactly where it is needed. For ice pick and boxcar scars in particular, laser resurfacing produces results that topical treatments and microneedling alone cannot match.
At Laser and Me, we offer complimentary consultations where we assess your specific scar types, skin tone, and goals to recommend the most effective treatment protocol. Many clients benefit from combining Erbium laser with our Q-Switch pigmentation treatment for comprehensive results.
