Do Non Ablative Laser Peels Really Work for Acne Scars?

Successful treatment of acne scars often requires a combination of treatment options to obtain an optimum result.  Non ablative fractional resurfacing will improve mild acne scars after multiple treatments.  More significant scars such as deeper rolling scars, pitted scars, hypertrophic and keloid scars, pigmented and red scars all take a different approach.  It is important to see and expert who understands the best way to treat all of these scar type.  One treatment does not fit all acne scar needs.

The acne scars are scars of various shapes and depth. Any collagen stimulation by non-ablative lasers are minimal and the improvement achieved are hardly noticable. Acne scars need to be removed by any means such as surgical dermabrasion, deep chemical peels or Co2 laser in order to get a noticable improvement. Minimal treatments produce minimal results.
