What are Acne Scars?

Acne scars are usually the result of inflamed blemishes caused by skin pores engorged with excess oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. The pore swells, causing a break in the follicle wall. 

Shallow lesions are usually minor and heal quickly. But if there is a deep break in the wall of the pore, infected material can spill out into surrounding tissue creating deeper lesions. The skin attempts to repair these lesions by forming new collagen fibers. These repairs usually are not as smooth and flawless as the original skin

Dr. Silva was phenomenal. Truly a wonderful experience. I felt understood as a patient and like my feelings mattered in how my treatment was approached.I'm grateful to have found Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Northern California. I know that part seems canned or copy and pasted, but it's not. I wanted to use the full name. And I guess I didn't find them, they were referred to me. And I'm grateful they were.

I had a Diamond Glow facial with Kayla. She was professional and friendly and made me feel immediately at ease. She explained the treatment and its benefits. I loved having my lips included as part of the treatment. My skin feels and looks amazing! Thank you, Kayla!!!

I’ve been coming here since 2020 for acne scar treatments. I am beyond pleased with their staff and services. I’ve been Dr. Silva’s patient since the beginning and she makes me feel like a priority patient whenever I have concerns or questions. Kathy, who’s been treating me, is the nurse who I trust completely with my face! She’s so skilled, experienced, and just a joy to work with. Kathy truly wants what’s best for your skin, her insight is so helpful and I wouldn’t trust anyone else. Dr. Silva and Kathy have gotten familiar with my skin and assign proper settings for my skin type. They truly put care and thought, trying to assign treatments, knowing what intensity my skin can and cannot handle. I’ve seen a dramatic improvement of my skins texture and appearance. I feel so much more confident in my skin than I ever have. So glad I found this place!
