Injectable Filler Excellent For Rolling Acne Scars
If the scars are shallow and rolling in nature, they will do beautifully with injectable filler. In our practice, we use liquid injectable silicone as it is incredibly precise and permanent. I personally do not feel Fraxel provides much improvement or longevity of the improvement, especially considering the cost.

Hello
In our practice the lasers we do is Dot Laser, Profractional C02 laser, micro laser peel and or VI peel for very mild acne scarring. If you go to our website you can read about each procedure and you can kind of determine what would benefit you the best. You have quite a few options for acne scars depending on how deep they are.

Fraxel for rolling scars can this help
This can help. But in my experience fraxel that uses the longer wavelength for deeper heating is not that effective as opposed to the co2 laser. I would consider the co2 laser instead in my experience and from talking to other people who have had fraxel. A multilayered approach would be a good option for full healing of your skin.

Fraxel Laser Treats Rolling Acne Scars
Yes, both the Fraxel Dual and the Fraxel Repair lasers are excellent for acne scar treatment, including rolling scars. Both work by stimulating new collagen growth in the skin, replacing the collagen structures that cause scarring. However, the Fraxel Repair uses a more intense wavelength and thus is only safe to use on fair skin types. The Fraxel Dual is safe for all skin types.

Unfortunately, acne scarring often requires more than one type of treatment.There are other options available including subcision with or without the injection of dermal fillers under the surface of the skin.

Fraxel is very helpful for acne scars
Fraxel is the best thing to come along for improvement of acne scarring in the 25 years i have been practicing plastic surgery. nothing will completely remedy the problem, but the improvement with fraxel, compared with anything else, is remarkable (and the downtime is minimal).
with all due respect to my colleague from dermatology, i would be very wary of any permanent fillers since they are just that, permanent. if you don't like what they do, it may...
