Acne Marks & Skin Clarity Treatment in Troy, MI

Acne may be gone, but the discoloration and dark spots left behind can linger for months. At Glow & Contour Wellness MedSpa, we use advanced PicoFY® laser technology to help reduce post-acne marks, improve uneven skin tone, and restore a brighter, healthier-looking complexion.

Whether you're dealing with stubborn acne pigmentation or lingering discoloration, our customized treatment plans can help you achieve clearer-looking skin with minimal downtime.

Acne marks are areas of discoloration that remain after a breakout has healed. Unlike active acne, these marks are caused by excess pigment production during the healing process.

They may appear as:

• Brown spots

• Dark spots

• Red or pink marks

• Uneven skin tone

• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)

These marks can persist long after acne has resolved and may become more noticeable with sun exposure.

Inflammation

Acne-related inflammation can stimulate excess pigment production during the healing process.

Picking or Squeezing Pimples

Manipulating blemishes may increase inflammation and worsen discoloration.

Sun Exposure

UV exposure can darken acne marks and make them more difficult to fade.

Skin Type

Certain skin types are naturally more prone to developing post-inflammatory pigmentation.

PicoFY® uses advanced picosecond laser technology to target unwanted pigmentation with ultra-short bursts of energy.

The treatment breaks down excess pigment into tiny particles that can be naturally cleared by the body. This process helps improve skin clarity, reduce discoloration, and support a more even complexion.

In addition to targeting pigmentation, PicoFY® treatments can help stimulate collagen production, supporting healthier-looking skin over time.

PicoFY® treatments can be customized for a wide range of skin tones and are suitable for Fitzpatrick Skin Types I-VI, helping improve acne scars and skin texture across diverse skin types.
