if so, what type of scarring would it treat best?
Answer: Fraxel Works Well on Scars Thank you for your question. Fraxel treatment eliminates irregular skin discoloration, and stimulates new collagen production, tightening the skin without prolonged recovery. After a series of 2 to 4 Fraxel treatments, the cumulative cosmetic improvement is near more aggressive lasers, but unlike more aggressive lasers, redness and swelling eliminated within 2 to 4 days after each treatment. Fraxel is outstanding for fine wrinkles, mild skin laxity, irregular pigmentation, acne scars, surgical scars, enlarged pores, stretch marks, age spots and Rosacea. It can be used safely on the face, neck, hands, arms, and chest.

Answer: Fraxel for scars The answer depends upon the scar. If the scar is flat, red and atrophic (thinned) then Fraxel re:store can provide some improvement. There are other situations when Fraxel may be appropriate, but there are many that it is not. It would be best to consult with a qualified surgeon who can determine which options would be best.

Answer: Fraxel lasers can treat acne scarring very well. Thank you for your question! Fraxel lasers can treat acne scarring very well. A series of Fraxel treatments can improve acne scars by 50 to 80%.Fraxel will soften and smooth your skin reducing scarring to a noticeable degree. In order to achieve this, I tend to recommend 3-4 treatments to achieve the optimal results. In addition, there is no down time for healing. Avoid tanning after any laser procedure. Best of luck!

Answer: Most acne scars as well as tramatic scars respond well. Fraxel 1550 "Restore" is my workhorse for most atrophic and/or discolored scars from acne, surgery, or trauma. Occasionally I also use the 1927 also, making it a "Dual" treatment. For pitted scars, I pre-treat with TCA cross prior to doing the Fraxel. Acne scars usually need more than one session. Seek out a dermatologist who has experience with this excellent and versitile device.

Answer: Fraxel for scars First question is what type of scar you have. Keloid scars - large overgrown thick red-brown scars - generally require injections of steroid and/or fluorouracil to soften and flatten before considering fraxel laser therapy. At that point, some may be fine without laser, some may be helped with VBeam laser therapy and some may improve with Fraxel.
