Will profractional laser help with deep acne scarring?

Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Thank you for your question. The Profractional Laser procedure is used to treat moderate to severe wrinkles, acne scarring and sun damage by gently removing the outer skin surface layer, revealing healthy new skin. The Fractional Laser delivers heat to the deeper layers of the skin stimulating new collagen growth and decreasing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This procedure can be performed to improve the appearance of the entire face or to target specific areas such as lines around the eyes and lips. New collagen remodeling occurs during the following 6-8 weeks following your treatment. The end result will be skin that is healthier, smoother, fresher and tighter. Best of luck! Dhaval M. Patel Double board certifiedPlastic surgeonHoffman Estates BarringtonOakbrookChicago
