While laser resurfacing can smooth out your acne scars, it's basically playing cleanup crew without stopping the actual party. About 50% of patients still get breakouts after treatment because lasers don't tackle hormonal chaos, excess oil, bacteria, or inflammation. You're dropping $3,000+ on a procedure that only addresses half your problem. Exposed's system costs less than a single laser session and targets both scars and future breakouts simultaneously. Stick around for the complete breakdown.
Biggest Takeaways
- Laser treatments address visible acne scars but fail to prevent future breakouts, with 50% of patients developing new acne post-treatment.
- Lasers don't target root causes like hormonal imbalances, excessive oil production, bacteria, or inflammation that continuously trigger acne.
- Exposed's multi-action system combines salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and green tea to treat both scars and prevent new breakouts.
- At approximately $3,000 for a full laser series, treatments cost significantly more than Exposed's complete One-Year Clear Skin Plan.
- Exposed offers a 1-year guarantee allowing proper healing time, versus laser treatments that provide no protection against recurring acne.
Why Laser Treatments Alone May Not Stop Future Breakouts

While laser resurfacing does wonders for smoothing out those crater-like acne scars, it's not exactly the magic bullet for preventing future breakouts that many people hope it is.
Here's the reality check: about half of laser treatment patients still get new zits afterward.
Despite the high-tech appeal, about half of all people who get lasered still wake up with fresh pimples post-treatment.
Why? Because laser resurfacing tackles the aftermath (scars), not the underlying causes.
Think of it like patching holes in your wall without fixing the leaky pipe. Those hormonal surges, oil slicks, and bacteria parties happening in your pores aren't impressed by fancy lasers.
Real talk: you need a daily routine that targets all four acne drivers alongside your expensive laser appointments.
Otherwise, you're just setting yourself up for a frustrating cycle of zap-clear-breakout-repeat that leaves both your skin and wallet hurting.
The 4 Root Drivers of Acne That Lasers Don't Address
Despite spending thousands on laser resurfacing, your skin might still throw a tantrum next week because lasers simply don't tackle what's actually causing your acne.
Here's the truth: while lasers might zap away the aftermath, they're ghosting the four real troublemakers behind your breakouts.
They do nothing about hormonal chaos cranking up your oil production. Zilch for the bacteria party happening on your face. Nada for the inflammation turning your skin into a battlefield.
And they certainly can't fix how your lifestyle choices—that late-night pizza or stress-fest before deadlines—trigger new eruptions.
It's like installing new carpet when your roof is leaking. Sure, it looks better temporarily, but you've solved exactly zero of the underlying problems that'll have you breaking out again by next month.
How Exposed's Multi-Action System Prevents New Acne While Scars Fade

Laser treatments might smooth your scarred terrain, but they're basically ignoring the volcano that's still active underneath.
While you're dropping thousands on laser sessions, Exposed's Multi-Action System is tackling both your scars and preventing tomorrow's breakouts for a fraction of the cost.
Our system works on multiple fronts to heal your skin completely:
-
Salicylic acid + benzoyl peroxide tag-team to unclog pores and kill bacteria before they can create new scars.
-
Enhanced cell turnover gently lifts away damaged scar tissue while revealing fresher skin underneath.
-
Green tea antioxidants calm the inflammation that makes scars stick around longer than your ex.
You'll see clearer, smoother skin without playing whack-a-mole with breakouts that keep returning after expensive laser treatments.
Real Results: Before & After Comparisons of Laser vs. Exposed Approach
Shock value sells laser treatments – those dramatic before-and-afters with perfectly lit studio photos showing craters transformed into baby-smooth skin.
But let's get real about what you're actually seeing.
While lasers can deliver visible results within 7-10 days, they come with mandatory downtime and strict aftercare protocols.
Meanwhile, our customers' Exposed progress shots show steady improvements without the zombie-face recovery phase.
Sure, lasers might give you quicker results for deep scarring – we won't pretend otherwise.
But they're one-and-done procedures that don't address what caused your acne in the first place.
The Exposed approach tackles both active breakouts and fading discoloration simultaneously, preventing new scars while old ones fade – which is why our customers' six-month comparisons often rival those flashy laser clinic portfolios.
The Complete Post-Laser Skincare Routine With Exposed

After spending thousands on laser treatments to zap those stubborn acne scars, you'd think your skincare concerns would be over – but that's when the real work begins.
Your freshly lasered skin needs TLC, not harsh products that'll undo all that expensive zapping.
Here's your post-laser game plan with Exposed:
-
Ditch the actives and switch to the ultra-gentle Exposed Facial Cleanser – it's like a soft hug for your raw, sensitive skin while still preventing new breakouts.
-
Layer on Exposed's Moisture Complex – it hydrates without suffocating pores or causing that greasy feeling other post-procedure ointments leave behind.
-
Top with a broad-spectrum SPF 30 daily – non-negotiable unless you want those laser results to fade faster than your ex's promises.
Skip makeup for 1-2 weeks while you heal. Trust me, your skin will thank you.
Cost Comparison: Laser Sessions vs. Exposed's One-Year Clear Skin Plan
Three thousand dollars. That's what you're looking at for a full laser treatment series—$2,000 for ablative or $1,100 for non-ablative, multiplied by however many sessions your scarring demands.
And don't forget the week of walking around with a face that looks like it lost a fight with a waffle iron.
Meanwhile, Exposed's One-Year Clear Skin Plan costs less than a single laser session and works continuously without forcing you to hide from society.
You're getting daily treatment that tackles all four acne drivers simultaneously, not just a one-time zap that requires perfect aftercare.
Let's be real—lasers have their place, but why not try the affordable option that won't leave you broke and peeling?

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Laser Resurfacing Worth It for Acne Scars?
While laser resurfacing can effectively treat acne scars, it's costly ($1,100-$2,000) and requires recovery time. You'll get better results by first addressing all four acne drivers with Exposed's complete system.
How Long Does It Take to See Results From Acne Scar Laser?
Time flies after laser treatment, with initial results appearing within 7-10 days. You'll notice gradual improvement for up to 3 months as your skin's collagen rebuilds. Many in our community need multiple sessions.
What Are the Red Marks After Laser?
Your post-laser red marks are normal inflammatory healing responses. They'll fade over 3-4 months as your skin recovers. Meanwhile, Exposed's botanicals can help soothe that redness while treating underlying acne factors.
What Is the First Stage of Acne Scarring?
The first stage of acne scarring starts with inflammation—your breakouts trigger deep tissue damage as immune cells flood the area, causing post-inflammatory redness before true scars form.
Putting It All Together
You're considering lasers just as your friend's recovery from her pricey treatment hits the two-week mark—still red and hiding at home. Coincidence? Maybe not. Why gamble thousands on painful procedures when Exposed's complete system tackles both scarring and future breakouts for a fraction of the cost? Give your skin a year with our guaranteed approach. Your wallet (and face) will thank you.
