Hi I am looking for opinions on the best treatment plan for my acne scarring. I have had multiple microneedling facials that have had minimal results and I am looking for a better outcome. I have had a consultation with a dermatologist who recommended Fraxel laser treatment but looking to see if there any additional suggestions. Thank you for your time!
Answer: Acne Scar Treatment Options Acne scars can be really stubborn, especially boxcar scarring - but the good news is there are some amazing treatments out there that can make a big difference in both the texture and overall appearance of your skin. The Fraxel laser is a great option. This type of laser helps smooth out scarring, even out skin tone and boost collagen production.

Answer: A combination of TCA cross, CO2, and Resurfx can help reduce appearance of these scars. Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Answer: Acne scar treatment The best treatments for acne scarring are using lasers. In your case I would recommend a fully ablative laser to pare down the skin a little, almost like sanding down the elevated portions, combined with fractionated laser to stimulate collagen production where the scars are indented. Usually a series of 2-3 treatments are needed, but you will see improvement with each treatment.
