In researching, it looks like the Ultrapulse CO2 machine is the 'gold standard' and is the only laser that does not cause 'thermal damage'. The fraxel and pixel and Acupulse (?) CO2 seemingly do cause this damage. Should I look for a Dr. who uses the Ultrapulse?
Answer: CO2 Laser Machine The type matters in the sense that for example Fraxel CO2 has less down time ,but you might need up to 4 treatments to see a meaningful result. They do the same job, just each has different downtime and side effect profile.

Answer: Lasers and solutions. The Ultrapulse is often not needed for most forms of acne scarring- the exception is with subdermal fibrosis. This accounts for less than 3% of the scars that I typically encounter. Rather than seek out the laser, seek out someone who has knowledge and the METHOD to treat your scar type. In the US Dr Emer, Dr Weiner, Dr Rapaport and Dr Novick all have extensive experience in scar revision. I wish you well, Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane. Australia
