Is SCAAR FX a better treatment for acne scarring than Total FX or Deep FX?

February 8, 2016
Asked By:tfx in Sacramento, CA

Lumenis recently introduced SCAAR FX, a mode for its UltraPulse fractional CO2 laser which allows treatment up to a depth of 4 mm, double that of DeepFX mode. How is this going to affect the treatment of atrophic acne scars on the face? Is it going to substantially improve the results achievable with DeepFX or totalfx?
