I GOT THE FRAXEL TO HELP CAMOUFLAGE MY ACNE SCARS.

Question:

It has been almost 2 years since my fraxel treatment and it appears as if the effects are wearing off. I got the fraxel to help camouflage my acne scars, but I am beginning to see them again. Is it normal for the effects to wear off like this? I thought the results would be permanent.

Answer:

In my experience, I have not seen acne scars return after Fraxel treatment. It is possible that your skin has gotten more laxity since the treatment and that this is making the depressed scars deeper. You can do another Fraxel procedure or you can have a facelift if there is significant facial laxity. I have found that the combination of Fraxel and a facelift is the best for acne scarring. Good luck.
