Mary Lupo, MD answers: Fraxel Restore for post-dermabrasion scars?

Hi, I have a question about Fraxel Restore. I received dermabrasion about two years ago on a few acne scars on my chin. Unfortunately, the scars looked much worse after the dermabrasion. My doctor is recommending Fraxel Restore. My main concern is the possibilty of worsening the scars, or creating a demarcation line (the doctor will only do the chin area). What is the risk involved? And, what kind of benefit do you think I will see in this situation? Thank you!

I have successfully used Fraxel Restore to correct scarring from dermabrasion. If the doctor is board certified and experienced with these modalities, it should work. Good Luck.
