Is dermabrasion still the best method to reduce acne scars?
Answer: Dermabrasion for Acne Scars Dermabrasion is one component of a vast armamentarium of treatments for acne scars and skin resurfacing. Dermabrasion can acheive contouring of mildly depressed and wide scars on the face and perioral area. It should not be performed concurrently with Accutane treatment.

Answer: Acne scars still difficult to treat Resurfacing options (peels, dermabrasion, laser resurfacing) may all improve the scars a little. Personally, I focus first on options that address the deeper aspect of acne scaring with deep fractional CO2 lasers (i.e., Encore DeepFX) or percutaneous collagen induction therapy (a.k.a. medical needling). I consider resurfacing 2nd tier treatments for acne scaring.

Answer: TCA peel using CROS technique A TCA peel using varying strengths of acids can have remarkable effects through an office procedure that is very cost efficient. Typically, the charges are between $500 and $900 for a 45 minute office procedure. This is a technique that when used properly can be tailored to individual pores and scars, instead of just blanketing the face with multiple laser treatments. Definitely, an underutilized technique.
