Acne and the scars it can leave are two different problems on two different timelines, and Pink treats both. Active acne is calmed at the source, on skin of every tone; scarring is resurfaced and remodelled once the breakouts have settled. Neither is a single dramatic step. Both are a calibrated course, matched to your skin and the pattern in front of it.
At Pink, active acne is treated with long-pulsed Nd:YAG, peels and LED support, while scar revision draws on fractional Er:YAG, Q-Switched Nd:YAG and TCA CROSS. This guide answers what we are asked most: whether laser suits darker skin, how to tell one scar type from another, how many sessions scarring takes, and what genuinely belongs with a GP rather than a laser clinic.
