New Fraxel Re:pair treats skin the deepest, may be most effective on acne scars

Michael Persky, M.D. 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?

Both Fraxel lasers can treat acne scarring very well. The newer Fraxel re:pair CO2 ablative laser penetrates up to 1600 nanometers (1.6mm) deep (as compared to 300nm (0.3) for Active FX, and 600nm (0.6mm) for Deep FX).

Good luck and be well.
