Why does acne scar depth remain the same even after Fraxel laser and subcision treatment?

Doctor's Answer

Hi there,

The most important factor before the start of any acne scar treatment is determining the type of scar(s) that we are dealing with. Different scar types will require different treatment modalities as not all scar types will have the same response to a particular treatment.

For eg. some scars will respond well to Fractional Lasers whilst others may not.

Secondly, machine based treatments (fractional lasers/ RF etc) have hundreds of different settings and results are generally dependent on effective settings used and the method of administering these treatments. Same goes for subscision.

Hope that helps.

All the best!
