Can Fraxel with "steroid drip" be used with pebblestone scarring?

Question

I have many very small hypertrophic "pebblestone" acne scars. I've seen reference to a method where the doctor uses fraxel with a 'steroid drip" right after the fraxel treatment. Is this an advisable procedure for very small raised scars (Doctors have told me that the scars are too small to inject individually).

Without seeing photos it is very difficult to offer an opinion.  However, there are ways to individually inject these scars and lasers such as Fraxel and eMatrix will help decrease these scars.  It is more complicated when the scars are hypertrophied and it is very important to consult an expert in acne scars.  Best, Dr. Green
