Lasers for acne scars

I use a combination of lasers to treat acne scars. The most important point to take back from this video is that it is the METHOD of acne scar revision that gives the greatest benefit to the patient. The very first step is to identify acne scar types, and ideally this is done under angled lighting and mapping. Once the scars are mapped and the types of scars identified, I then use targeted treatments to address these scars. Most patients will have a mixture of acne scar types, including atrophic scars, tethered scars, box car scars, ice pick acne scars, rolling acne scars, and hypertrophic scars. Some patients will have early acne scars, and others will have longstanding acne scars. Some will have red scars, others dark scars, and others skin coloured ones. The best METHOD is to match the procedure, with the scar type, skin type and downtime for the patient. For someone to be good, and I mean really good at acne scar revision, they must have not only an array of machines and lasers, but be skilled in the art of surgery, subcission, and most of all dermal filling. TCA CROSS is another procedure I perform 3-4 times a day on deep ice pick scars, or linear box car scars. This video only shows one form of scar revision- that is fully ablative laser resurfacing using the erbium Scition laser. Other devices I use (and videos will come shortly), include- the Profractional erbium by Scition, the Fraxel fractional laser at 1550, called Fraxel RESTORE, the big guns of Fraxel whic
