Raised chest scars from old acne or keloids can stay red and bumpy for years. Vbeam laser for acne scars uses pulsed dye energy to calm that redness and soften scar tissue. The treatment suits patients whose chest scars never faded on their own. It works on both flat discolored marks and thicker keloid scars.
Dr. Rokhsar has contributed to research and development of the Vbeam pulsed dye laser used in our practice. He treats chest scarring with the Vbeam Perfecta laser. Patients exploring textured marks often consider acne scar removal. Raised, thickened scars may instead call for keloid treatment. The patient result below was treated at our New York City and Long Island offices.
Vbeam Laser for Chest Keloid and Acne Scars (Patient 1)
On the central chest, raised pink scars from acne and keloid formation stood out against the surrounding skin. The marks looked thickened and reddened, a common look for chest acne and keloid scars. The after image shows noticeably flatter texture with calmer color. Redness has settled, and the scarred areas blend more evenly with the nearby skin. Outcomes like this show how the Vbeam laser can soften both raised tissue and lingering redness.
