Active and Deep FX for acne scarring

The Active and Deep FX laser is a fractionated CO2 laser that is very effective in the treatment of acne scarring. The advantage of the laser when compared with traditional dermabrasion is that there is typically less downtime and less risk of scarring and hyperpigmentation with the laser treatment. These risks increase with darker skin types and should be discussed with a board certified dermatologist before any treatment.
