Thanks for your query. Fraxel works on pimple marks more than active pimples. For active pimples you should go in proper medication and Ipl laser with acne filter, it works. Hope it helpsAll The Best

Thank you for your question! I do not suggest patients with active breakouts to undergo laser treatment. You need your acne under control before you undergo acne scars laser treatment. I would advise you to visit certified provider and receive adequate treatment for your acne. Best of luck!

Fraxel is a great treatment for acne scars but not active acne. For active acne, usually topical and oral medications, peels, and appropriate skincare give best results. Certain lasers such as the Excel V by Cutera also may help with acne but not Fraxel.

Thank you for your question. The Fraxel laser is not indicated for the treatment of acne. It will address acne scars but is not a treatment for your active acne lesions. There are other lasers that specifically treat acne.  I would advise you make an appointment with a board certified dermatologist to go over all your treatment options for your acne.
