At Home Acne Scarring Treatment
Depending on what type of acne scars a person has, laser acne scar treatment is a relatively effective way to get rid of acne scars for good. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, laser treatments work best on depressed acne scars, which appear as light indentations in the skin, but do not go very deep within the skin's surface.
For those with deeper acne scar tissue, often referred to as deep boxcar scars, or rolling acne scars, which cast a ripple effect across the skin, treating acne scars with lasers tends to be less effective due to the severity of the scars. Positive results can be achieved, however, in combination with other acne scar treatments like acne scar surgery, microdermabrasion, fillers and chemical peels.
Types of Lasers Used for Removing Acne Scars
Typically two calibers of acne lasers are options when a patient is seeking laser acne scar removal, also referred to as laser skin resurfacing: ablative and nonablative. The difference between the two is that ablative lasers are more invasive than nonablative ones. That is, they do more damage in a shorter period of time to fix the acne scarring problem.
