This light is converted to heat and is absorbed by the cells being targeted, while leaving the surrounding tissue unaffected.

Will laser skin resurfacing help with my deep, pitted acne scars?
It depends on the scars. Sometimes combining a full face laser resurfacing with dermabrasion of the deepest acne scars is the best approach. Other times, resurfacing by itself is not enough. Preparatory surgery such as scar excision or the use of fillers such as fat injections prior to dermabrasion may be needed to achieve an optimal result. Excision of multiple deep, pitted acne scars may be performed over several sessions. These must be evaluated on an individual basis.In severe cases of destructive acne, scaring may occur. This scaring may last a lifetime. However, once you???ve passed the difficult ???acne years??? chemical peels and dermabrasion can lessen the severity of acne scarring.
