Blue-light Laser Therapy

• The blue-light laser therapy is generally thought of as the cheapest laser treatment for acne scars. One session costs around $100 to $200. This is considered an affordable price as most other laser treatments start around $250 and above per session. For example, intense pulsed light therapy starts at $350 per session. Certain laser treatments, like CO2 laser resurfacing, can cost as much as $5,000.
  
  Blue-light laser therapy for acne scars is one of the most popular and widely used treatments currently available partly due to its affordability and partly due to its efficacy. It has been evaluated and approved for use under the supervision of licensed dermatologists by the FDA. Even though up to eight treatments may be necessary for complete removal of acne scars, the total cost for blue-light laser therapy is still cheaper overall than other treatments that also require more than one session.
  
  

Cost Factors

• The cost of laser treatments for acne scars varies based on the individual and the type of scarring. Deep, indented scars will cost more to remove than flat areas of discoloration. It is suggested that the patient discuss all treatment and cost options with his doctor before moving forward with treatment plans. Some dermatology clinics do offer financing plans for qualified customers to help pay for the treatments.
