Fractional Laser & Acne
By Dr. R. Jarial | May 22, 2009
The use of fractional laser (or fractional thermolysis) is showing some promise a safe and effective way to treat some acne scars in patients with darker skin types. Sometimes, standard acne treatments, such as chemical peels, dermabrasion, and laser resurfacing can lead to an increase in pigment, particularly in individuals with darker skin.
The mechanism of action seems to be microscopic coagulation in columns and the ability not to injury surrounding tissue. In turn, this allows for faster production of collagen and skin epithelium.
Early studies are suggesting that fractional resurfacing is helpful. However, the finer points of treatment are still in a research phase.
