Acne Scar Treatment
Centrally located in Southampton, PA and serving Philadelphia, Bucks, and Montgomery Counties, The Kole Plastic Surgery Center uses the PicoSure® laser for patients who desire acne scar treatment.
One unfortunate fact about acne is that it tends to leave behind scars. Fortunately, cutting-edge laser treatment is now available to make unwanted scars a thing of the past. Laser scar removal is a non-invasive method of scar treatment that works without the discomfort and downtime associated with conventional surgery.
Our PicoSure® acne scar treatment is known for its ability to dramatically improve acne scars. You can now have beautiful skin that is scar free. Extra clothing, makeup, or additional daily expenses will no longer be required.
Our patients are experiencing significant, visible results after only one PicoSure® treatment. They come away from the process quite pleased and with renewed self-confidence. Our female patients are pleased that they can now use bronzer without the appearance of deep lines on their face. Others find that they are using a fraction of the foundation they did before, and others are posting pictures of themselves without makeup.
One unique aspect of PicoSure® is the lack of downtime. You may resume your normal activities after your treatment. You may even resume work hours later.
Treating visible scars is far easier than most people imagine. Laser scar removal will improve both surgery-related scars and scars caused by acne.
Laser scar removal minimizes the appearance of scars without damaging the surrounding skin. Only a few quick and easy treatments are required to minimize scars, resulting in smoother, healthier-looking skin.
PicoSure® utilizes a cutting-edge picosecond laser that safely and effectively treats acne scars. The powerful energy of this laser boosts the immune system so that it replaces scar tissue with new skin cells. As new tissue forms, acne scars fade away naturally without any harm to the surrounding skin. PicoSure® is safe for all skin types.
Multiple sessions may be required for the best results, depending upon the skin type of the patient. The treatment is not considered painful, but any discomfort can be minimized by using a cooling cream. Laser scar treatment has few side effects that may include some redness and swelling. You will be able to resume your normal activities immediately after your procedure.
Laser scar treatment is FDA-approved for acne scars and surgical scars on any part of the body.
Laser scar removal works on numerous skin types, including very dark and very light skin.
Laser scar removal can take 30 minutes or less, depending on the size of the area being treated.
Patients usually experience little discomfort during their treatment.
There is no one answer to this question since each case is unique, but people generally require from 3 to 7 treatments for optimum results.
Most people are able to resume their normal activities immediately after their treatment session.
The cost for PicoSure® laser treatment for acne scars varies depending on the extent of treatment necessary to achieve optimum results.

Kole Plastic Surgery Center
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
