Fraxel is effective for acne scars

Kris M. Reddy M.D., F.A.C.S. answers: Does Fraxel work on acne scars?

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?

Fraxel is effective for acne scars once the acne is no longer active.

You should consult with a board certified physician to deternine whether Fraxel or another treatment is more appropriate for your particular needs and lifestyle.
