Laser treatment for acne marks is an effective therapy that can improve skin pigmentation and acne scars. However, the cost of treatment varies depending on factors such as geographic location, hospital, physician's experience, and the number of sessions required. Generally, the price for laser treatment of acne marks ranges from 500 to 5000 yuan per session, with actual prices subject to local hospital standards.

For localized treatment of smaller areas with superficial acne marks, the cost may be relatively lower, typically ranging from 500 to 1200 yuan per session. For larger areas or deeper acne marks requiring full-face treatment, the price generally ranges from 2000 to 5000 yuan per session. Additionally, prices in first-tier cities or economically developed regions are usually higher than those in second- and third-tier cities or less developed areas, often ranging from 3000 to 5000 yuan per session. Furthermore, high-end clinics or comprehensive hospitals may charge more than regular clinics or general hospitals, with prices typically ranging from 2000 to 4500 yuan per session.

When selecting a medical facility, it is important to consider the physician's professional qualifications and the sophistication of the equipment to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment. In addition, you may also try some daily skincare methods, such as using skin-lightening products, sun protection, and moisturizing, which can help reduce acne marks at a relatively lower cost.
