Fraxel re:store and Skin Texture

Michael A. Persky, MD answers: Skin texture after Fraxel?

What is the skin texture like after having Fraxel restore done? I have heard that the skin looks like it has tiny needle puncture scars? Is this correct? I have tiny acne scars and am currently borderlining on having the procedure done. I just don't want worse skin than I do currently, as my skin problems are relatively minor. Thanks.

Hi Anoni,

Fraxel re:store does not leave any holes in the skin.  When performed properly, a series of 4 to 6 treatments is a great treatment for mild acne scarring.

Spend some time and effort to choose your treating physician carefully and you should be very happy with the results.

Good luck and be well.

Dr. P
