Why do I get poor results after fractional CO2 lasers for acne scars (photo)?

Doctor's Answer

Hi,

acne scars are difficult problems to solve to start with. Expectations are important to manage. Most will require multiple treatments with the laser. Assessment of the scar to see if it is stretchable or fixed in depth is important in deciding the type of treatment to use.

Most treatments can achieve a 30-50% long-term improvement.

I always advise patients to use the non-ablative lasers first and to control active outbreaks.

regards,

Dr Ben
