Fraxel™ for Acne Scars
Millions of Americans struggle with skin damage and scarring due to acne. Acne scars and discoloration can be a source of embarrassment and discomfort, even years after the acne itself has cleared. There are several treatment options for reducing the appearance of acne scars, and one of the newest and most advanced is the Fraxel™ laser system. The Fraxel™ system eliminates the scarred and damaged tissue without destroying healthy skin.
Acne Scars – Causes and Treatment
While acne itself can be unsightly and embarrassing, perhaps the worst effect of acne is the permanent damage and scarring it can cause. When the pimple itself is gone, damaged skin and bacteria can survive in your pores, producing a scarred area. Acne scars can be a long-lasting detriment to your appearance and self-image.
If you are looking for an effective solution to reduce the appearance of scar tissue from acne or other damage, Fraxel™ acne scar treatment from Kim Facial Plastic Surgery of Atlanta may be the best choice for you. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kun Kim is experienced in various facial rejuvenation techniques and scar reduction, including Fraxel™. He believes in Fraxel™ because it is less invasive than other acne scar solutions such as surface abrasion and surgery.
The targeted Fraxel™ laser technology achieves great results without damaging healthy tissue and without significant downtime. Therefore it can be a relatively painless and speedy alternative for patients with a busy schedule and active lifestyle. Often, Fraxel™ produces visible results right away, with continuing improvement in your skin’s texture and tone over the next few months.
Fraxel™ Laser Treatment and Recovery
Fraxel™ uses fractional laser technology that can be precisely tuned and targeted by sophisticated, but easy-to-use computerized guidance system. In this way, our Fraxel™ acne scar treatment professionals can focus on damaged tissue with pinpoint accuracy. The procedure itself is usually less than an hour long, with most patients able to continue their normal schedule in a day or so. Minor side effects like swelling or redness are possible, but usually disappear fairly rapidly.
The key to Fraxel™ acne scar treatment’s targeted results is that its laser ablates or vaporizes only microscopic points of damaged skin or scar tissue. This enables its precise accuracy in repairing acne scars while stimulating and rejuvenating healthy skin tissue. Fraxel™ reduces the visibility of acne scars while promoting collagen production and the growth of healthy, youthful skin.
Most Fraxel™ patients undergo three or four treatments with a few weeks in between for maximum results. However, depending on your skin’s condition, Dr. Kim will help you determine a Fraxel™ acne scar improvement plan that is tailored to your needs.
Dr. Kim is committed to combining your goals and realistic expectations with his skilled expertise for a safe and positive outcome.
