LASER RESURFACING ACNE SCARS- with 2 lasers in the one session

LASER RESURFACING ACNE SCARS – using two lasers at once, here is how I do it! Laser resurfacing is still an excellent method to treat acne scars. This clip shows how I combine two lasers in one- a procedure I call Hybrid laser resurfacing. The best results you get from any acne scar revision is the method of scar removal and not just the machine. As a Board Certified Specialist I will always find the best solution based upon your scar type. Laser resurfacing is best for box -car scars, shallow ice pick scars and mixed scars. The most suitable patients for fully ablative laser resurfacing are fair skin Caucasian patients. As you can see I use two different types of lasers for acne scars- firstly an erbium Profractional fully ablative laser- this means the entire surface of the skin is treated. This form of resurfacing totally erases shallow pores, surface scars, and box car scars. I then use fractional laser resurfacing using a CO2 laser. I prefer this over the erbium Profractoinal in lighter skin types, as this gives more collagen stimulation and acne scar remodelling. For scars in Asian and ethnic patients, I usually perform INFINI radiofrequency microneedling or erbium fractional laser resurfacing. Healing times following laser resurfacing will vary between 5-8 days, depending on the depth of laser, how many passes I perform, and your personal health.
