Introducing Our Signature NanoFrax™ Acne Scar Facial
The NanoFrax™ Acne Scar Facial is the crown jewel of our laser and skin treatment menu at Shay Maz Aesthetics & Wellness in Buffalo, NY — and for good reason. This advanced, customized treatment combines fractional laser technology with targeted skincare protocols to address one of the most persistent and emotionally impactful skin concerns: acne scarring. If you've struggled to find a solution that truly moves the needle on your scars, the NanoFrax™ is it.
Acne scars form when breakouts damage the deeper layers of the skin, disrupting the normal collagen repair process. The result can be pitted, rolling, or boxcar-type scars, uneven skin texture, enlarged pores, and stubborn post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Standard facials and over-the-counter products rarely reach the depth needed to produce real, lasting change. The NanoFrax™ Acne Scar Facial does.
"I've had acne scars since high school and tried everything. After three NanoFrax sessions at Shay Maz, my skin looks completely transformed. The texture improvement is unreal — I actually leave the house without makeup now."
How Does the NanoFrax™ Treatment Work?
NanoFrax™ utilizes fractional laser energy to create thousands of microscopic treatment zones in the skin — a technique known as fractional photothermolysis. Rather than treating the entire surface uniformly, the laser targets a fraction of the skin at a time, leaving surrounding tissue intact to accelerate healing. This precision approach allows us to reach the deeper dermal layers where scar tissue lives, stimulating a robust collagen remodeling response that progressively fills and smooths scarred areas from below.
What makes our NanoFrax™ Acne Scar Facial truly distinctive is the comprehensive, multi-step approach wrapped around the laser treatment. We pair the fractional technology with targeted skincare products, customized settings based on your specific scar types and skin tone, and a post-treatment protocol designed to maximize healing and results — making this a complete skin transformation experience, not just a laser session.
What Skin Concerns Does the NanoFrax™ Address?
- Pitted acne scars — including icepick, boxcar, and rolling scar types
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) — dark spots and discoloration left behind by healed breakouts
- Enlarged pores — visibly reducing pore size through collagen stimulation
- Uneven skin texture — smoothing rough, bumpy, or irregular surface texture
- Fine lines on acne-prone skin — addressing early aging alongside scar concerns
- Overall skin tone and radiance — improving dullness and uneven pigmentation for a more luminous complexion
What to Expect During Your NanoFrax™ Treatment in Buffalo, NY
Your NanoFrax™ Acne Scar Facial begins with a thorough skin assessment. We'll evaluate your scar types, skin tone, and overall skin health to customize the treatment parameters specifically for you. A topical numbing cream is applied well in advance of the procedure to ensure your comfort throughout.
During the treatment, you may feel a warm, prickling sensation as the fractional laser passes over the skin. The intensity is carefully controlled based on your tolerance and treatment goals. Most sessions are completed within 45 to 75 minutes depending on the size of the treatment area and the extent of customization included in your protocol.
Immediately following treatment, the skin will appear pink or red — similar to a moderate sunburn. This is completely normal and typically subsides within 24 to 72 hours. Some clients experience minor swelling and a temporary "bronzing" or micro-crusting effect as the skin heals, which resolves within about a week. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to support your skin through the healing process.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Most clients in Buffalo, NY see meaningful improvement after their first NanoFrax™ session, with results continuing to develop over 4 to 6 weeks as new collagen forms. For significant acne scarring, we typically recommend a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart to achieve optimal results. Deeper or more extensive scarring may benefit from additional sessions.
During your consultation, we'll evaluate your scars and skin condition and give you a realistic, honest assessment of what to expect — including how many treatments we recommend and a projected outcome timeline.
Combining NanoFrax™ with Other Treatments
The NanoFrax™ Acne Scar Facial is powerful on its own, but results can be further enhanced when combined with complementary treatments. Many clients pair NanoFrax™ sessions with Microneedling with PRP for added collagen stimulation, or incorporate NaturaPeel treatments between laser sessions to maintain skin clarity and accelerate renewal. Our team will help you build a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your goals and timeline.
