When we think of banishing acne scars, our grandmothers might think of papaya soap. Our older titas, on the other hand, would advise you to try harsh astringents you can buy at the drugstore for cheap…but turn out to do more harm than good. Some will suggest a diamond peel, which is not only outdated, but also unsanitary (the crystals used to exfoliate your skin are reused)! Girl, it’s 2020. Modern technology has devised a number of methods, particularly in the arena of lasers, for removing acne scars. Here are several laser treatments you can try at Belo to diminish acne scars for good. The best part? ALL of these laser treatments will be offered at 30% OFF during our 8.8 sale at The Belo Shop this Saturday, August 8, 2020!

This is a favorite of stars like Liza Soberano and more. It targets melanin deposits to effectively lighten skin and deliver a more even tone. Thanks to its breakthrough lasers, it’s capable of safely and precisely shattering pigment without injuring the surrounding skin—this way, there’s absolutely no downtime! This machine is actually called the Fotona Starwalker, but we chose to name our treatment after the machine’s popular Angel Whitening mode, which is ideal for dark spots (read: acne marks). It’s one of our best selling treatments.

Revlite

Loved by the likes of Regine Velasquez and Zsa Zsa Padilla, Revlite has been around for longer than Angel Whitening, but it’s still popular among our regular patients. It works by producing laser pulses to break down pigmented lesions into smaller particles. Like Angel Whitening, it’s able to do this without damaging the surrounding normal tissue. 

Fractional C02

This is one of Cristalle Belo-Pitt’s go-to treatments! It’s for patients with severe acne scars, especially those that have formed ice pick scars or “craters” on the skin. Fractional C02 is a fractional resurfacing laser that removes layers of skin tissue in a fractionated method—meaning, columns of skin are removed, leaving skin surrounding each column intact to aid healing—to improve skin’s laxity, reduce age-related pigmentation, and smoothen skin. Because it’s so intensive, you’ll only need a few sessions, and the intervals between sessions are much longer. 

Picosure

So you’ve heard of milliseconds. Maybe you’ve even heard of nanoseconds. Can it get any quicker than that? Yes! The PicoSure Laser delivers a shorter pulse of energy—in the pico-second range, rather than the nano-second range used by other lasers—making it safer, faster, and more effective. Because it breaks up pigment with shock waves rather than heat, your doctor can be more aggressive with treatment without having to worry about unwanted side effects on your part. It’s so powerful that our doctors at Belo Greenbelt used it to remove Dingdong Dantes’s wrist tattoo!

We’ve given you four options to get rid of acne scars for good. Now, all you have to do is make your choice at the Belo 8.8 Sale! You can buy multiple sessions and save them for later dates, since 8.8 treatments are redeemable until February 28, 2021. Say goodbye to acne scars…and say hello to unbelievable discounts on 8.8!
