A Question About Laser Resurfacing and Facial Hair Growth?

May 22, 2013
Asked By:frthbrgh

If I remember correctly, acne scars affect facial hair growth due to the presence of damaged follicles and scar tissue, correct? Will laser resurfacing that improves acne scars help with the eventual regeneration of facial hair in areas once prone to cystic acne and scarring?
