Question:
Is surgery ever used to repair acne scars?
Answer:
Yes, occasionally we do treat acne scars with surgery. In our practice we do a combination of a TCA chemical peel, dermabrasion and the carbon dioxide laser to eradicate the acne scars and also blend the treated area with the remainder of the facial skin. For mild acne scarring we also use the Smooth-Beam laser which after several treatments can result in significant improvement in the appearance of mild acne scarring. Additionally, Botox can occasionally be used as well on acne scars.
