How effective is laser acne scar removal? How often should fractional laser be used?

Laser acne scar removal is a very popular method of acne scar removal. The effect of removing acne scars by laser is very good. Many beauty lovers are troubled by the acne scars on their faces. Laser acne scar removal is effective.

How effective is laser acne removal?

Laser acne scar removal generally requires 5 to 6 consecutive treatments, with an interval of 3 to 4 weeks between each treatment, to see significant improvement. If you are treating shallow spots, such as freckles, you can see some improvement after 1 to 2 treatments. If you want to shrink pores and tighten the skin, generally more than one course of treatment is required. After one treatment, the effect will gradually appear in 7-15 days, and the effect will be more obvious after one month. Clinically proven, photorejuvenation for acne scar removal can keep the effect for 1-2 years, but it also requires the patient to maintain good habits at the same time (such as: try to avoid sweets, milk and other acne-inducing foods in the diet)

How often should fractional laser be used?

Fractional laser can be used every 2-3 months. Ultra-pulsed CO2 fractional laser uses high-peak short pulse technology, which penetrates deeper than erbium laser and needs to be treated every 3-6 months. Fractional laser is generally used to remove scars once a month, which will leave a short-term pigmentation, and most of them will disappear in 3 months to half a year. Postoperative care should be done well. I suggest that freckle removal and scar removal be done separately. You can do the fractional laser first, and then do the freckle removal treatment after the pigmentation disappears. How many times a course of fractional laser treatment should be done depends on the actual skin situation. Don't be greedy. Some people can achieve better cosmetic results with one treatment. Generally, 2-3 times is enough. Doing it too frequently is not good for the skin and it is easy to damage the cuticle.

The principle of laser acne scar removal

Laser acne scar removal uses the photochemical effect of strong pulsed photons (also called light quantum) produced by the photon skin rejuvenation device to stimulate the skin and cause chemical changes in the molecular structure of collagen fibers and elastic fibers in the dermis: the number increases, they are rearranged, and their original elasticity is restored, thereby achieving the therapeutic effect of eliminating wrinkles and shrinking pores. In addition, the photothermal effect it produces can enhance blood vessel function and improve skin microcirculation.
