Acne scars are not a single problem — they are several.

The main types of acne scars

Atrophic scars are the most common. Within this category there are three subtypes: ice-pick, boxcar, and rolling scars.

The first step is always a precise diagnosis. Not all acne marks are scars.

How they are treated with laser

What sets Centro Láser Cali apart in scar treatment is having three lasers, each with a different mechanism of action.
