For some of us, acne and the scars they left did a real \u201cnumber\u201d on our complexion. Make up and products can only do so much to help camouflage all of the skin\u2019s imperfections.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, with advanced technology, there are now options to reduce <a href=\"\/laser-treatments\/acne-scars-pittsburgh-pa\/\">acne scarring<\/a> and leave one with a more even skin tone. The <a href=\"\/laser-treatments\/skin-resurfacing-pittsburgh-pa\/\">Cortex<sup>\u2122<\/sup>\u00a0Fractional CO2 and Erbium Yag<\/a> is a state of the art laser that can help erase time and boost one\u2019s self confidence.<\/p>\n<p>The Cortex<sup>\u2122<\/sup>\u00a0Fractional CO2 penetrates deep into the dermis while the Erbium Yag treats more superficial layers of skin. This combination of fractional and ablative lasers helps to achieve long lasting results. Cortex<sup>\u2122<\/sup> has the ability to reduce acne scarring, improve the skin\u2019s texture, stimulate collagen, and reduce pore size. Although this treatment is great for acne scars, it is not recommended for active acne.<\/p>\n<p>Just like any cosmetic treatment, this laser combination does come with risks and downtime. The Cortex<sup>\u2122<\/sup>\u00a0Fractional CO2 and Erbium Yag requires about a week of social downtime while the skin heals. If exposed to the sun pre or post treatment, there are higher risks of burning and scarring. This treatment is highly recommended for months with limited sun exposure such as Winter and Fall.<\/p>\n<p>Contact our Patient Coordinator to schedule your consultation and see which treatments you can benefit from today! Whether it be <a href=\"\/injectables\/botox-pittsburgh-pa\/\">Botox<\/a>, dermal fillers such as <a href=\"\/injectables\/restylane-pittsburgh-pa\/\">Restylane<\/a>, or even <a href=\"\/non-surgical\/ultherapy-pittsburgh-pa\/\">Ultherapy<\/a>, there is a specialized treatment plan for everyone.
