Acne scars can be a frustrating reminder of past breakouts, often lingering long after the acne itself has cleared. If you’re tired of covering up pitted scars or uneven skin texture, MiXto Laser resurfacing may offer the clear, smooth skin you’ve been hoping for.
At Dr. Richard Peck’s office in Northern New Jersey, we help patients achieve visible scar reduction with this powerful CO2 laser technology.
How MiXto Laser Treats Acne Scars
MiXto Laser uses fractional CO2 energy to create microchannels in the skin. These tiny, controlled injuries trigger your body’s natural healing process, stimulating collagen production and encouraging new, healthy skin to form. As your skin heals, pitted or indented scars become shallower, smoother, and less noticeable.
MiXto is particularly effective on:
- Rolling acne scars
- Boxcar scars
- Uneven skin tone and texture left by acne
It also helps reduce discoloration from post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, leaving the skin brighter and more even-toned.
What to Expect from Treatment
Treatment typically takes under an hour. Afterward, most patients experience 4–7 days of redness, peeling, and mild swelling. Improvements begin to show within the first few weeks and continue to develop over several months as new collagen builds.
Some patients need only one session, while others may benefit from a series of treatments depending on scar depth and skin condition.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does MiXto work on deep acne scars?
MiXto is ideal for moderate acne scarring. Deep scars may need additional treatments like punch excision or TCA cross, which can be discussed during your consultation.
Will the scars come back?
No—once collagen remodels the scar tissue, the improvement is long-lasting. However, proper skincare and sun protection are essential to maintain results.
Is MiXto safe for darker skin tones?
MiXto is best suited for lighter skin tones. Patients with medium to deep skin tones will be carefully evaluated to avoid pigment changes.
