Do Non Ablative Laser Peels Really Work for Acne Scars?
It seems like any improvement seen is from swelling, micro swelling, and the temporary tautness of the skin after treatment. Do non ablative lasers really improve mild to moderate acne scars by stimulating collagen production to a noticeable level?
A: Non ablative lasers Do work for acne scarring
While ablative lasers like erbium , regular Co2, or fractional in various combinations may give the most dramatic results, they all have significant downtime. Our group has treated many hundreds of satisfied acne patients with non ablative lasers. The two most commonly used have been the smooth beam laser and Fraxel repair ( which technically is partially ablative). You need a doctor who is well trained with these lasers and feels comfortable with using the higher energies required to see the desired changes. Our patients are usually quite happy with the results. Other non ablative lasers that we have used include the pulsed dye and the KTP lasers.
