Acne Scar & Skin Texture Treatments in Lakewood, WA
Personalized laser treatments for mild acne scars, enlarged pores, rough texture and post-acne marks for patients in Lakewood, Tacoma and surrounding South Sound communities.
At GLOW Korean Laser, treatment is selected based on whether your concern is uneven texture, post-acne pigmentation, active breakouts or true structural scarring. Depending on your skin assessment, our provider may recommend LASEMD or Hollywood Spectra as part of a personalized treatment plan.
What Type of Acne Scar or Texture Concern Do You Have?
Depressed Acne Scars
These scars appear as pits or depressions after acne has healed. They may include ice-pick, boxcar or rolling scars.
Potential treatment: LASEMD for selected mild or superficial texture concerns. Deeper scars may require a different treatment approach.
Uneven Texture & Enlarged Pores
The skin may appear rough, bumpy or less refined after repeated breakouts, inflammation or excess oil production.
Potential treatment: LASEMD to support surface renewal and improve overall skin texture.
Post-Acne Dark Marks
Flat brown or gray marks that remain after a breakout are changes in pigmentation rather than true structural scars.
Potential treatment: Hollywood Spectra or LASEMD, depending on the depth and distribution of the pigmentation.
Active Acne & Congestion
Ongoing breakouts, clogged pores and inflammation may need to be addressed before focusing on existing scars.
Potential treatment: Hollywood Spectra AcnePeel after provider evaluation.

LASEMD for Acne Scars & Uneven Texture
LASEMD is a non-ablative fractional laser treatment designed to support skin renewal and improve the appearance of uneven tone and texture. It may be recommended for rough texture, enlarged-looking pores, post-acne pigmentation and selected mild or superficial acne scars.
At GLOW Korean Laser, treatment intensity is customized according to your skin condition, treatment goals and tolerance for downtime. A consultation is used to determine whether LASEMD is appropriate for the type and depth of scarring present.
Hollywood Spectra for Post-Acne Marks & Active Acne
Hollywood Spectra may be recommended when the primary concern is post-acne pigmentation, uneven tone, active breakouts or congestion. The treatment uses specialized laser energy to target unwanted pigment and improve the overall appearance of the skin.
For selected clients with active acne, the Hollywood Spectra AcnePeel combines laser treatment with a specialized carbon lotion. When deeper indented scars are the main concern, a different or combined treatment approach may be required.
