Acne Scar Laser Singapore
ACNE SCARS – Why live with scars when you can IMPROVE it! The Medical Power of Light!
1) VIVA
Viva offers a non-surgical skin resurfacing solution that enhances the texture of your skin. Combining NanoFractional Radio Frequency (RF) and SmartScan™ technology, it effectively reduces acne scars, enlarged pores, stretch marks, wrinkles, fine lines, rosacea, and other skin conditions.
HOW IT WORKS
SKIN RESURFACING
Viva uses tiny pins to safely deliver heat (via NanoFractional Radio Frequency) to the skin’s surface, creating micro-dermal wounds that stimulate natural healing. This process repairs skin damage, leading to smoother, healthier skin. Compared to traditional CO2 lasers, the treatment is more comfortable, with faster recovery and minimal downtime.

2) FOTONA LASER RESURFACING
Fotona’s Er:YAG laser wavelength is ideal for gentle ablative scar revision to treat problematic acne scars. The laser provides the precise penetration depth required for light resurfacing, improving skin texture and tone. Unlike chemical peels and dermabrasion, laser skin resurfacing allows for controlled penetration depth. The laser gently vaporizes micro-thin layers of the acne-scarred surface to reveal healthy, undamaged skin beneath.
