ACNE SCARS

Acne scars result from healed acne lesions often years prior to presentation. At FineTouch Dermatology, various modalities for effectively treating this condition exist, including:

Fraxel Re:pair laser: The newest product in the Fraxel family, Fraxel re:pair treatment is a preemptive strike against a facelift. It produces dramatic improvement for severely damaged skin. This is a single treatment procedure, but will require more downtime and after treatment wound care.

Fraxel Re:store laser: Can produce significant results for mild to moderately damaged skin over the course of 3 to 6 treatments. Typically, there is no aftertreatment wound care with these treatments and downtime is minimal.

Surgical treatment: The depressed floors of acne scar trough are surgically elevated to blend better with surrounding skin.
