Answer: Acne Scarring -- Requires a Combination of Fractional Laser Resurfacing, Fillers Like Bellafill, Subcision and Eclipse Micropen I often combine laser resurfacing with TCA cross at the same time. You need a cosmetic dermatologist who specializes in acne scarring/pigmentation and does a combination of treatments including: surgery, subcision, or TCA cross for deep or pitted "ice pick" scars; fillers like Bellafill or Sculptra or Radiesse for broad "boxcar" or "rolling" scars; Eclipse Micropen for all types of scars and improvement in texture and tone; lasers such as co2 laser resurfacing or Fraxel/Clear+Brilliant or radiofrequency such as Venus Viva to improve the scars and give long term collagen production. There are many options but you want someone who can customize a regimen for your short and long term goals based on your individual situation. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Laser resurfacing vs chemical peel I do not think this is a choice of which comes first. I think it is more a question of a which one will treat your concerns better, which is best for your skin type, which is better for your allowable downtime, or which one you prefer. In my practice, I prefer laser resurfacing. I feel I get a more predictable depth of treatment with laser. Chemical peels are based on concentration, time, and/or number of passes and are less predictable in my opinion. A good laser resurfacing treatment would be my recommendation if it is appropriate for your skin type. Good luck!For more information on laser resurfacing, please visit the link below.
