Think about having fractional laser treatments performed. This is a very powerful and effective tool in the fight against scarring caused by acne. Precisely controlled, fractional laser treatments have less risk associated with them and most importantly, are a lot less painful and cost minimal downtime when compared with surgical procedures (a more traditional method for treating skin scarring).
Pulses of controlled laser light heat the scar tissue, triggering healthy new skin to grow. Because damage to the skin is minimal, so is the healing; recovery time is minimal. Patients who choose to undergo this procedure leave the medical office with minimal pinkness to the skin, very much like that of a very mild sunburn. The only real negative is the experiencing of very minor and painless peeling in three to four days after treatment.
