Non-ablative Laser with Ablative Laser for Acne Scars?
Can both non-ablative and ablative lasers be combined to treat acne scars (icepick and boxcar)? For example, 5 treatments of Palomar Starlux 1540, then one treatment of Pearl Fractional?

Fractional CO2 laser followed by IPL appropriate for most acne scarring
Fractional CO2 laser should be done first to achieve textural improvement followed by series of nonablative laser such as Q-switched Nd:Yag laser (e.g. Spectra Laser by Lutronic) and/or IPL photofacial laser to even out skin tone.

Pearl Laser
Yes, but Fractional seems to be the best way to approach these kind of scars. Thank you for your question and good luck with everything.
