How Long Does It Take for Track Marks to Disappear Following a Fraxel Repair Treatment?

March 1, 2012
Asked By:DMP7

I had my Fraxel Repair treatment conducted in November for my acne scars. Three months have passed, and I still have what appears to be track marks from the laser on my face. Is this how I'll look from now on or will this eventually fade away? If the former, what should I do to reduce their appearance? If the latter, how long will it take the marks to disappear?

Cameron Rokhsar, MD, FAAD says:

In my experience, there should be no reason why your diabetes should preclude you from receiving treatment with Fraxel.
