Can Profractional laser cause different skin depths from and scars?

Thank you for your question.When it comes to scarring on the face, I typically start around 500 microns. This of course depends on the type of scarring. At 200 microns, that is fairly shallow and do not think it will make that much of a difference for scarring.

The Profractional laser goes up to 1500 microns deep. 200 microns is about the thickness of 2 post-it notes, ie shallow. Most of the time 400-800 micron range is needed. I usually start at 400-500 and increase the depth each visit for a total of 2-4 treatments, depending on severity.
Thank you for your question.  Sincerely, Carmela Pettigrew, MD
