Hi,

Scar remodeling and collagen stimulating procedures as listed by you will work just as well in older and more mature patients.

In addition, older patients undergoing such resurfacing procedures will benefit from improvement in fine lines, skin clarity and reduction of superficial pigmentation such as age spots.

A personal assessment and thorough discussion with your preferred aesthetic doctor will help determine which of the available procedures will best address your key concerns and which combination will best help you achieve your expected treatment outcomes.

Hope this helps!

With regards to your question: Fractional CO2 lasers generally penetrates deeper than Erbium lasers Fractional CO2 lasers also generally penetrates deeper than Fractional RF devices EXCEPT Microneedle RF machines that can reach a depth of 3. 5mm (only in some machines) which in this case will have a greater penetration depth as compared to Fractional CO2 machines.

How many acne scar treatment sessions do I need for mild acne scarring before I can achieve significant improvements? (photo)

Hi there, One session of Picosure will give you noticeable results of 5-10% improvement with no downtime. PicoSure utilities the Focus Lens which targets the laser energy at 20x the usual strength deep under the skin, WITHOUT removing the top layer of the skin. Therefore it has no downtime. It is also proven to produce noticeable collagen at the areas where the scars are. For moderate improvement, I suggest that you will need 5-6 sessions of Picosure.
