Dr. U’s acne treatment began with a combination of Spectra laser and medication for existing inflammation in the sebaceous glands using a combination of Spectra laser therapy and medication. A month later, the patient was ready to begin the second phase of treatment with Dr. U, in which the Fraxel Dual is used to eliminate the leftover acne scars.

Laser acne treatment is a powerful way to reduce acne and scarring. Some of the critical benefits of acne laser treatment include:
- Reduction of deep acne scarring and pitting
- Fractional healing – meaning that it only targets and affects troubled tissue, leaving adjacent tissue alone
- Safe for all skin types
If you have tried several options to get rid of acne and acne scars and none have worked before, laser acne treatment is an important method to consider.

How do acne scars form?
Acne scars form when there is a deep break in the wall of the pores, causing the infectious material to seep into the surrounding tissue, causing deep lesions. The scars result from the body forming large amounts of collagen, creating a massive quantity of tissue that rises to the skin’s surface. The difference, however, is in this new skin’s rougher, more rugged texture.
The collagen forms into more of a basket weave formation, making the acne scars thick. The denseness of the collagen is from the creation of fibroblast (scar tissue).
A computerized (VISIA) complexion analysis was done before and after.
Why use Fraxel Laser to treat acne scars?
Fraxel laser stimulates the development of new collagen fibers, which fill in the depressions to create smoother skin. The Fraxel Dual laser uses two wavelengths to achieve this result. The heated light beams go deep into the skin, remodeling the collagen, treating only a fraction of the skin, leaving the rest unaffected, allowing the skin to heal rapidly.
The downtime for this non-ablative treatment is usually 2.5 to 4 weeks.
