Smoother Skin, Fewer Memories, Laser Scar Treatment in Miami

Life’s milestones sometimes leave marks you would rather forget. Our laser scar treatment Miami pairs the right energy device to your scar type so results look natural and never over treated. For raised or deeply pitted acne scars and surgical lines we may use CO2 laser for the most powerful resurfacing and collagen remodeling. For color contrast and texture irregularities that need a lighter touch, we turn to Alma Harmony XL Pro ClearLift, Morpheus8 RF microneedling, or Opus Plasma. Your CMA physician maps wavelength, depth, and pass count to your skin tone and scar age to smooth edges, soften shadows, and blend scars back into surrounding skin.



Treatment time is usually under an hour with topical numbing. Expect a few days of redness and flaking after Morpheus8 or Opus Plasma and up to one to two weeks of recovery after CO2 resurfacing. ClearLift has little to no downtime and gradually improves tone and texture through a short series. Most clients notice clearer blending and a flatter look as new collagen knits in over 4 to 12 weeks. Ready to see smoother skin with fewer memories? Book your consultation, and we will tailor a plan that fits your goals and schedule.

Preventive vs Corrective Care

Timeline to smoother skin

Patients notice early softening after session two; optimal blend appears three months after the final treatment when collagen remodeling peaks.

How long do results last?

Scar architecture permanently improves; new tissue behaves like surrounding skin. Further sessions may be desired for perfection but touch-ups are optional, not required.

FAQs

  • How many sessions will I need?

    Shallow discoloration may clear in three visits; ice-pick acne scars often need five to six. Your provider maps a realistic schedule.

  • Does laser scar treatment hurt?

    With topical anesthetic most patients rate discomfort 3 / 10, describing a hot-pinprick sensation.

  • Is it safe for darker skin?

    Yes. ClearLift’s 1064 nm wavelength bypasses epidermal pigment, vastly reducing PIH risk. Energy is titrated conservatively for Fitzpatrick V–VI.

  • Can lasers erase a scar completely?

    No treatment erases scars 100 percent, but fractional resurfacing can reduce depth and discoloration by up to 70 percent in clinical trials.

  • What about cost?

    Laser skin resurfacing cost depends on scar size and session count. Facial acne-scar packages start lower than large surgical-scar series. A full quote is provided at consultation, along with financing options.

  • Are results permanent?

    Yes—once remodeled, collagen remains organized. However, new trauma or sun neglect can create fresh damage; daily SPF is non-negotiable.

  • Can I treat rosacea and scars together?

    Absolutely. Dye-VL pulses can calm rosacea redness while fractional passes remodel texture, though separate sessions may be scheduled to minimize inflammation.
