Laser skin resurfacing is the answer

For many patients with deep acne scars, laser skin resurfacing has provided an effective method to treat the scars. Some deeper, "ice-pick" type scars will need to be cut out surgically. However, for the majority of the other types of acne scars, laser skin resurfacing is a great option. It may be more expensive than peels but the results are also much better.

Fraxel restore and Fraxel repair are two lasers I recommend. The "repair" laser will only need 1 or 2 treatments but will have a longer "downtime" in terms of redness and swelling. The "restore" laser will need 4-6 treatments but will have a substantially reduced "downtime."

Hope this helps you in your hunt for a better treatment plan. Good luck Shaina.
