Does laser scar removal for acne scars work well?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Both fractionated carbon dioxide and erbium lasers offer significant improvement for scars. The erbium offers faster healing time of 3-4 days and is appropriate for recent or old scars as well as surgical scars.

Sometimes: Acne scars need a variety of treatments. Some types of scars can respond to lasers, however many do not. In particular, deeper scars are less likely to see a response with a laser.
