When red acne scars are treated with PDL, do the scars fade immediately, or continue to fade over the coming weeks? I'm trying to understand what normally usually happens.
Answer: Do red acne scars fade immediately after PDL or over weeks? When red acne scars are treated with a PDL, the appearance can sometimes temporarily darken. It can take 6 weeks or so to see the results after the treatment.

Answer: Its best to have consistence with treatments to have the best results Vbeam laser is an excellent modality for patients who have rosacea, blushing of the skin, facial and body telangiectasia, spider veins, redness, post surgical redness, and skin flushing. It is a safe procedure that can be used at varying depths to help treat micro blood vessels in the skin. We also use it in our office for facial skin inflammation, keloids, and hypertrophic scarring. It is an important part of scar therapy. Vbeam can be combined with chemical peels and other lasers, but experience with the treatment is essential. The Vbeam laser does not affect deeper tissue. Schedule a consultation with an expert in Vbeam and you will find it to be an excellent modality for many skin types.

Answer: Treating Acne Scars with PDL The effects of a pulsed dye laser can vary somewhat from patient to patient. However, it would be unusual to see significant improvement immediately after your first treatment. I would give yourself four to six weeks after that session to see how much improvement you might achieve. Keep in mind it is not unusual to require more than one treatment session or even more than one type of treatment to completely eradicate acne scarring. Make sure the doctor you are working with is both board-certified and experienced in acne scar revision procedures to ensure an optimal outcome.

Answer: Scars and pulsed dye laser Thanks for your question. We usually see the scars and redness actually darken for awhile, and sometimes even look bruised, but that eventually fade and hopefully you will have excellent results. The pulsed dye laser is great for red scars and vascular lesions. Ask your dermatologist who is treating what to expect right after, and they will review post-laser care. Good luck!
