Why do my acne scars look deeper and bigger after a Fraxel treatment?

Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I suggest posting before and after photos and VISIA analysis.  Otherwise there is no way we can suggest what may have happened or your treatment options.  Best, Dr. Emer.

A comparison photo will be great. After any laser treatment or even RF, your skin is swollen, this can create the impression of more prominent pores and larger atrophic and saucer shaped scars. This settles within a few days. Comparison photos will reveal, this can help us guide you as well. All the best,
