What is the most effective laser for acne scars on the back. They were caused by going off of birth control in my 20's. I am in my 60's now and very active yet have been self conscious for 40 years. Thank you

Answer: For Acne Scars; Consider Subcision To Elevate & Smooth; Manual Microneedling For Improving Texture/Color Instead of which laser treatment would work best, perhaps the better question might be, "Which tretments work best for acne scars?" The fact that the queation was, "Which laser....?" shows the power of marketing hype and social media buzz to influence consumer choices. Frankly, the hard science to support the use of relatively expensive "bells and whistles" fraxel lasers and RF gizmos lags woefully behind the media hype. On the other hand, simple subcision, which I have personally been performing since 1995, has a proven track record for safety and efficacy for elevating and smoothing boxcar and rolling acne scars in all skin type. TCA CROSS, another favorite of mine for nearly a quarter of a century,, likewise, has a similar track record in all skin types for treating dilated pores and ice pick scars. You would be wise to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist. I suggest not going in asking specifically for something you have found on Dr. Google or Dr. YouTube because you may just get what you asked for. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Answer: Back acne scarring Morpheus8 standard treatment and resurfacing treatment would be very helpful here. A picture would help me say this with more certainty. Morpheus is a radiofrequency microneedling device that transmits energy into the tissues at various depth and strengths causing collagen plumping, muscle contraction, skin tightening, filling in of scars and even a small amount of fat loss if desired. It is excellent both in its base form or in resurfacing form
