Scars can serve as reminders of past acne, surgeries or injuries, but they don’t have to define your complexion. At The Skin Chic in Virginia Beach, we specialize in laser scar treatment and removal using industry leading technology. Our expert providers harness the power of PicoSure Pro and Tetra Pro CO2 lasers to help clients across Hampton Roads achieve smoother, more even skin.

Not all scars are created equal. Acne scars may appear as deep ice pick pits, rolling depressions or boxcar indentations; surgical and traumatic scars often form raised or sunken tissue along incision lines; stretch marks develop when skin rapidly expands; and pigment based scars occur when excess melanin darkens healing areas. Scars form because collagen fibers heal unevenly – effective treatments must therefore encourage healthy collagen production to smooth and blend the tissue.

The PicoSure Pro laser is a revolutionary 755 nm alexandrite picosecond device. Unlike traditional lasers that rely on heat, PicoSure Pro delivers ultra short picosecond pulses of energy that shatter scar tissue and unwanted pigment without harming surrounding skin.

These pulses create microscopic pockets of pressure known as Laser Induced Optical Breakdowns, which trigger the body’s natural healing response and stimulate new collagen and elastin production.

Because PicoSure Pro works through photomechanical pressure rather than heat, treatments are gentle and safe for a wide range of skin types. Our clients use PicoSure Pro to reduce acne scarring, correct hyperpigmentation and melasma, and soften fine lines and wrinkles.

Most people experience little to no downtime – many notice improvement after just a few sessions.

For deeper or more textured scars, we offer the Tetra Pro CO2 laser. This advanced fractional CO2 device allows us to deliver high energy laser beams in a pattern of microscopic columns.

It removes damaged skin layers and creates tiny micro thermal zones while leaving surrounding tissue intact, sparking a robust healing response that promotes new collagen and elastin.
What makes Tetra Pro special is its CoolPeel® technology. By using very short pulses (H Pulse) and controlling heat delivery, CoolPeel performs ablative CO2 resurfacing without causing unnecessary thermal damage.

Clients enjoy the smoothing benefits of a traditional CO2 laser – such as reduced wrinkles, improved texture and minimized scars – but can typically return to daily activities within a day or two.

Tetra Pro’s customizable pulse patterns treat concerns ranging from fine lines to deep acne scars, surgical scars and stretch marks. Its adjustable intensity, depth and pattern allow us to tailor treatments to your skin type and goals.

By stimulating collagen production in deeper layers, Tetra Pro delivers long lasting firmness and rejuvenation, and fractional delivery makes it safer for varied skin tones.

The Skin Chic has earned a reputation as Virginia Beach’s leader in laser scar revision. Our team is trained on both PicoSure Pro and Tetra Pro CO2 laser rejuvenation treatments and will recommend the optimal approach based on your scar type, skin tone and lifestyle.

Our Virginia beach med spa offers laser scar revision and removal treatments at our Shore Drive location, making advanced scar treatment accessible to clients throughout Hampton Roads. Whether you live in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth or the greater Tidewater area, our team is committed to providing personalized care and natural looking results.

Your journey begins with a one on one consultation to assess your skin and discuss your goals. Depending on the scar type, most clients require a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart for optimal results.

PicoSure Pro sessions are quick (often 30–60 minutes) and involve minimal discomfort; you may experience mild redness or swelling that fades within a day.

Tetra Pro treatments typically last 20–60 minutes and include a topical anesthetic for comfort; CoolPeel sessions offer shorter downtime than traditional CO2 treatments.

After each session, we’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to protect your skin and maximize results. Most clients see progressive improvement over several months as new collagen forms.

Don’t let scars hold you back – modern laser technology can dramatically improve their appearance.

Contact The Skin Chic to schedule your personalized consultation, and discover why clients across Virginia Beach, Norfolk and all of Hampton Roads trust us for laser scar treatment and removal.

Together we’ll design a plan using PicoSure Pro or Tetra Pro CO2 to restore smoother, more confident skin.
