Erbium Laser for rolled acne scars? (Photos)

Thank you for your question. I suggest that you consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon. An in-person examination would provide the best opportunity to pick the ideal laser for you. With the ideal laser in hand, we are able to gently remove imperfections in the skin, layer by layer, revealing deeper healthier skin.Best wishes,

Thank you for sharing your question and photos. Acne scars are particularly difficult to treat. There are several approaches to treatment that might give you some improvement. I use the Erbium laser in conjunction with PRP w/ Microneedling. This combined technique seems to help more than either treatment alone.  Good luck,

Thanks for your question!

Ablative lasers (full CO2 or erbium) would be of benefit to this but how I like to treat this in my practice is usually first with dermabrasion. NOT MICROdermabrasion but full on dermabrasion. 

This works by using a fine surgical sander to remove the outer layers of skin down to the dermal layer. New skin is regenerated which isn't as damaged as the current skin. Several treatments are sometimes necessary. This route can be cheaper than lasers as it's much less advanced technology.

Hope this helps! Good Luck!
