Will Ellacor help improve the look of acne scars or make it worse? This scarring includes deep poc marks and is severely disfiguring. Will these scars preclude me from receiving Ellacor treatments? Thanks in advance for your advice.

Answer: Treatment of Severe Acne Scarring Yes Ellacor will help your acne scaring as will microneedling or Fraxal laser. Of the 3, microneedling is usually the least expensive. No matter what you do, however, you need to be on tretinoin (Retin-A) in order to start the body making collagen in the dermis. Once you have been on the tretinoin for 4-6 weeks, at least, you can do a series of one of the above at least 4-6 weeks apart. This should markedly improve the scarring over about a year, and may eliminate most of it in 2-3 years. When you start the tretinoin, expect to be somewhat red for about 6-10 weeks. This is a natural reaction and just indicates the product is working, making collagen. Make sure whoever you see to do this thoroughly understands the skin and how it and the healing process works.
