Acne & Acne Scars

Acne is one of the most common dermatological conditions, affecting nearly 80% of people between the ages of 11 and 30. It occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, creating an environment where bacteria thrive. At Leor, we classify acne by grade (I through IV) because the treatment protocol differs significantly between mild comedonal acne and severe cystic presentations.

What many patients do not realize is that acne scars form during the healing process itself. When the dermis is damaged by inflammation, the body produces collagen to repair the wound. Too little collagen creates atrophic (pitted) scars; too much creates hypertrophic (raised) scars. The type, depth, and distribution of your scars determine which combination of lasers, peels, and regenerative treatments will be most effective.

Our approach at Leor is always dual-track: we treat active breakouts to prevent new scarring while simultaneously addressing existing scars with fractional lasers, microneedling, and targeted chemical peels. This parallel protocol means you see improvements faster than treating one concern at a time.
