Fraxel Acne Scars- Does it Work? I've heard a lot about Fraxel laser. Acne has always been a problem for me and I have the scars to prove it - can Fraxel treat acne scarring on my face?

A: Fraxel is one of many options to improve and treat Acne Scarring

Other options include co2 laser resurfacing, fat injections, subcision, excisions, deep chemical peeling, punch grafting, dermal rolling, dermasanding. I believe that treating acne scarring is a multistep process. I like fat grafitng first, subcision and then I carry out more procedures to treat the scars specifically with excisions, deep chemical peeling. I do co2 laser resurfacing at the end with some dermasanding.

Fraxel Failed to Work on my Acne Scars Hi. I have a question regarding Acne Scars. I have undergone six sessions of Fraxel Refine to minimize or make my scars disappear, which did not happen. The practitioner who did the procedure suggested Fraxel Repair but couldn't assure me that it'll work on my face. I was wondering how good of an improvement can you get out of Fraxel Repair. Will I see a huge difference? Thank you.

A: Fraxel repair will have subtle improvements with each treatment

Fractioned lasers will gradually improve your scars. It also depends on how your scars look. Some scars need to be excised first before they actually can get really better. Other times require subcision techniques which require you to use different instruments, such as punch biopsies or needles to elevate depressed scars so that they match the surrounding levels of the skin. You may need more significant approaches for the scars such as co2 resurfacing as well to get the results that you really want. Also, some scars require excision and closure and further resurfacing to improve them.

	“Fraxel Dual for Seattle Man” I had Fraxel done on my entire face, although, I originally only saw the need on my cheeks. As a 40+ year old man, I'm starting to see the effects of sun tanning in my teens and burns when I was a kid. The process started by the technician applying goop that is meant to reduce pain. Turns out that I'm sensitive to the numbing cream and I got very red even before the laser session... more
	“Great Laser Resurfacing Results -...” My skin looks great after Fraxel laser treatments with Dr Irwin. I had 4 treatments with her to remove acne scars and brown spots on my face. The results are absolutely amazing! The texture of my skin has improved so much and I love how smooth and flawless it looks. Thanks Dr Irwin!!! more
	“Don't Ever Do Fraxel to "Delay" a...” I asked my derm if I was reaching the age for a facelift and she said I could delay the need for that kind of work with four sessions of Fraxel: restore. I had three treatments in three months, got scared and stopped. My fair skin has turned ruddy, and I have developed long wrinkles beside and under my eyes and around my mouth. My derm says fair skin is prone to redness and that she will... more
	“Fraxel Re:store” Today was my first fraxel re: store treatment for acne scarring on my cheeks.So this treatment is not painless, in fact it is pretty intense-but tolerable. The person who performed my treatment has had advanced training with fraxel and that was very evident. She talked me through the entire process and it helped me to feel very confident in her skill and the treatment itself. I'm pretty... more
	“Do Not Waste Your Money on This in...” I would not recommend this procedure to people looking for smooth skin. I had it done and overall it improved my skin by 35%. It did work for some moderate lines or pigmentation issues but not very effective for texture or acne scars. I found that the ice pick and rolling scars that I had didn't change very much from before the procedure. Also, it is supposed... more
	“Fraxel Laser - Worked on my...” I'm Asian and the the Fraxel helped improve so many issues I had on my face (wrinkles, crepey skin, sun damage, laxity). The treatment delivered this and more- I wear a lot less make up now and this is extremely liberating. Thank you Kathy Lee Gifford for making me aware of such a wonderful procedure. more
