CO2 laser is the best for acne scars

Steven Weiner, M.D. answers: Laser treatment for acne scars

I am looking for a way to get rid of acne scars. Heard good things about some laser skin treatments but i don't know how to choose between them all because there are so many laser treatments that are said to work on lots of problems, but i really just want to know which one works the best on acne scars.

I believe that the CO2 laser will give the best results for scars of the face. The best of these is the Fraxel re:pair Laser. This uses fractional technology, which has eliminated the risks of further scarring or hypopigmentation.

Nothing is going to remove all the scars, but with one or two treatments with the Fraxel re:pair, it should be significantly better.
