Laser Treatment for acne scars

It is important to have a plastic surgeon who is trained in laser resurfacing for acne scars, and one who also has done a fair number of these procedures if you want to obtain the best cosmetic results possible. Laser resurfacing for acne scars also offers the advantage of having a shorter healing period than the older procedure of dermabrasion, in which the outer layer of the epidermis is removed by abrasion, which often meant that it took months for new unscarred skin to grow back.

Laser resurfacing is much more precise as the plastic surgeon only burns away certain areas of the face that contain the scar tissue, while normal tissue is left relatively intact. As lasers become even more precise and advanced, and as plastic surgeons become even more adept at laser resurfacing procedures for acne scars, the procedure will likely become increasing more effective, and popular, for reducing the appearance of acne scars. Getting rid of acne scars is easy with a laser!
