Fractional Co2 Laser for Acne Scars on Asian Skin?

January 25, 2009
Asked By:boardn in Phoenix

I'm a Filipina woman with deep acne scars. A dermatologist recommended a light Fractional CO2. I was told new CO2s are safer. I was classified as Type 4 and I'm afraid of hyperpigmentation. What can I expect from Fractional CO2 treatments?
