Will Dermasanding Achieve a Better Result Than Laser Resurfacing for Deep Ice Pick and Box Scar Acne Scarring?

I'm looking for alternative treatments to laser resurfacing due to the additional pin point scarring and hyperpigmentation I developed after 2 treatments of Total Fx. The holes created in the face by the laser failed to heal and now appear as enlarged pores. The pictures I included are 1 yr. post second treatment and 2 yrs. post first treatment. Both Total FX treatments were performed by a Board Certified Dermatologist.

There are 2 ways to treat these scars. Both work great together. I would combine Fraxel restore treatments with silicone injections. You will need about 5 sessions of each. I have had fantastic results with this combination. Now, if you are concerned about doing another laser treatment, I would just recommend the silicone injections which are permanent filler and would make a huge improvement on you.
