What it is
Acne Scarring is a laser-based treatment offered at both RENU clinics, performed personally by Dr. Barrett rather than handed off to a technician.
How it works

How it helps
Patients choose Acne Scarring to address acne and scars — dosing and technique are staged conservatively so the change reads as rested, not "done."
Treatable areas
Most commonly used for skin concerns. Dr. Barrett will confirm the exact areas that make sense for you at your consultation.
Add exosomes to your treatment
Exosomes are tiny messengers, packed with growth factors, that help skin cells communicate and repair. Applied right after your treatment — while the skin is most receptive — they support recovery and help boost and extend your results. Ask Dr. Barrett about adding exosomes at your consultation.

Questions we get asked
Will I look overdone?
No. Dr. Barrett's practice is built on conservative dosing and staged plans — you can always add, and patients routinely come back for a second, smaller session rather than one dramatic one.
Does it hurt?
Most patients describe pressure rather than pain. Topical numbing is standard where it helps, and we can pause at any point.
How soon can I go back to work?
See the downtime figure above. For most injectable treatments patients return the same day; laser and thread treatments need a short social buffer.
What does it cost?
Pricing depends on units, syringes or sessions, so it's quoted at consultation. Financing is available.
