Ice pick acne scars

Theodore Katz, MD answers: Alternative to Fraxel Laser for ice pick scars?

Is there another procedure besides Fraxel that can help improve or eliminate ice pick scars? A procedure that does not involve multiple visits or passes? Longer downtime is okay.

It may be possible to excise or punch out and directly close these scars, but it is difficult to say without seeing you directly.  Visit with an e perienced plastic or facial plastic surgeon.
