I use the Fraxel restore for acne scarring routinely. The results can be variable. If the treatment settings used are the same as the settings for patients with sun damage and fine lines, then the results are very marginal. However, if settings such as 70mJ (a high setting) are used, then the results are much more impressive.
Acne scarring requires a higher intensity of treatment than other conditions. It is very important to seek out a very competent physician to perform the treatment. High settings can have higher side effects and longer "down-times," and are not suitable for all individuals. If you decide to use Fraxel for acne scarring, make sure to go to someone recommended on Fraxel.com, have a consultation, make sure the physician does his/her own treatments, and then go for it.
