Does Palomar Laser Work Well on Acne Scars?

Hello,The 1540 non-ablative Palomar fraxel laser is a good option for acne scars with minimal downtime. Pulses of light energy break down scar tissue, causing new tissue that is lighter in color and more even in texture to form in its place. New collagen develops, resulting in smoother looking skin. It works on any skin type, from very light to very dark skin. A simple procedure, it can take just 30 minutes per session; most people need three to five sessions for optimum results. Patients can usually resume their normal activities immediately following the session, making this a simple procedure to schedule. There is little to no downtime.For deeper scars, some patients need 1540 laser treatments in conjunction with filler. Good Luck.

Fractional lasers for acne scars will improve the surface of your skin by creating first a controlled "injury" which then causes a collagen response.
The theory (an reality) behind multiple sessions is that over time you have repeated collagen stimulation and improved skin smoothness.
As to which fractional lasers are best, sometimes it is a matter of market exposure. Palomar has some of the most extensive research and development but less marketing exposure.
In any case, no laser has yet proven to remove acne scars completely so recognize you will get improvement as opposed to removal of your scars.
Fraxel Restore is an erbium laser which superheats the treated columns of skin. Fraxel Repair is a CO2 laser which vaporizes the columns so you have a more intense recovery. Most scar patients opt for the less downtime (and expense) of the fractional NON-ablative lasers such as the Palomar 1540 or Fraxel Restore
