Laser for acne scars
Pick the doctor - not the laser. There are many lasers and devices that are effective in treating acne scars. A microlaserpeel alone is not the best option. Fractional devices (lasers or radiofrequency) are currently best for treating acne and other scars. A combination microlaserpeel and fractional erbium laser is very effective. Multiple treatments are needed for optimal results.

Acne Scar treatment options
Microlaser peel will improve the texture and tone slightly. I recommend doing profractional laser therapy instead. This allows the laser to deeply exfoliate the skin with minimal downtime. Typically, 3-6 treatments are needed for optimal results. We have seen amazing results with profractional laser therapy for acne scars.

MIcro Laser peel is a great peel for many things, but for scar treatment as a plastic surgeon i would recommend something a little deeper. Profractional laser with a micro laser peel would hit your skin on 2 different levels. Profractional laser would hit into the 2nd layer of your skin regenerating your own collagean and helping your skin repair acne scars that are deeper, the micro laser peel would hit the 1 laser of your skin removing the acne scars that are not so deep.

MicroLaserPeel for Acne Scars
The MicroLaserPeel or “weekend” skin peel addresses conditions associated with sun damage and aging. As compared with microdermabrasion or light chemical peels, a MicroLaserPeel is a deeper treatment that precisely removes the outermost layers of skin, and treats wrinkles, scars, acne scars, keratoses, and irregular pigmentation. Patients experience smoother, healthier, more vibrant skin, with a significant immediate change in skin texture and tightness. A MicroLaserPeel is the...
