Halo laser for acne scars - how do I make sure my provider is performing a deep treatment not just surface exfoliation?

Hello LM. The question of how to perform an acne scar procedure depends on what the acne scars look like. We treat red scars, brown scars, ice pick scars, rolling scars and boxcar scars all differently. The options we use include deep fractional resurfacing, pulsed dye lasers, q-switched lasers, hydroquinone, subcision, dermal fillers and TCA Cross. So, without seeing photos of your scars (see link below for ours), it's difficult to say just how we would suggest the treatment be performed. We can say that if you have textured scars and you did not have any bleeding in the Halo procedure then you did not get a deep fractional treatment.
