Does Acne Scar Treatment Hurt?

Book Consultation Pricing By Treatment
Acne scar treatments at LaserAway are designed to be as comfortable as possible. Before your treatment begins, your clinician applies a topical numbing cream that minimizes discomfort. During treatment, you may feel mild sensations--such as warmth, tingling, or a light prickling--depending on whether you're receiving Clear + Brilliant®, Potenza™ RF Microneedling, Rejuran®, or a combination of treatments. Most patients describe these feelings as tolerable and temporary. Afterward, some redness or slight swelling is normal and usually fades within a few days. Your clinician will walk you through what to expect and provide aftercare instructions to keep your experience smooth and stress-free.

Is numbing cream always applied?

Yes, numbing cream is used before both RF Microneedling and Clear + Brilliant treatments to maximize comfort.

What does the treatment feel like?

With both Clear + Brilliant and RF Microneedling, patients often describe the sensation as a gentle warmth or prickling that's easy to tolerate.

Will my skin be sore afterward?

Some redness or sensitivity is common with RF Microneedling and Clear + Brilliant, but it typically subsides in just a few days.

Can I return to work right away?

Yes, most patients resume normal activities the same day, with only mild visible side effects. Remember to follow all aftercare instructions carefully to get the best results possible.
