Acne scars are a difficult reminder of our skin’s unfortunate past. These marks are left behind following an acne breakout. Acne pimples cause injury deep into our dermis, and as our skin heals collagen is left behind which can result in a scar. There is very little one can do to prevent acne scarring other than to attempt to control their active acne. There are new developments, however, which can treat acne scars and improve their texture.
The science of lasers has developed some very exciting devices which can improve acne scarring. Fractional lasers such as the Fraxel and the SmartSkin treatment can greatly improve skin texture and tone. Please call today to learn more about the latest treatments.

First of all, I was really impressed with Dr. Pilest's web site. I learned some very important points even before seeing him. Second, his consultation with me was very complete. After 3 children and a body I want to hide, I was dreading baring my belly. But, he made me immediately comfortable and explained not only WHY I had stretch marks, but the difference in the old ones and the new ones, what I'd have to do to prepare for laser treatments since I've got some dark skin ancestry (no one ever asked me about that before or explained why it was important!)
We're tackling the red marks first with Vmax laser and I've seen some very obvious improvements after just a couple of sessions. Later we'll get into the white marks with Fraxel. I know what to expect (apparently no miracles here) but I appreciate the candid assessment. It's nice to know the limitations.
The nursing staff is the best. Joanne spent plenty of time reassuring me, re-explaining the process and generally being a professional hand holder.
I feel very confident and comfortable with Dr. Pilest.
