Yes, we treat acne scarring.  Each case is very different both from the degree of scarring as well as the patient’s tolerance for down-time.  Treatment will begin by surgically excising any scars which are too deep for resurfacing.  We then tailor resurfacing based upon severity and tolerance for surgical down-time.  The Fraxel laser works moderately well for acne scarring with down-time limited to a few days with each treatment.  For patients who are willing to have more down-time chemical peels and surgical dermabrasion are effective.  In patients with a significant atrophic component to the scarring we utilize autologous fat transfer to plump the skin and reduce the pitting of the scarred skin.

I hope this helps to answer your question.  Please feel free to call with any further questions.  We would love to see you.
