Someone wants to know if combining a full field Erbium laser with a ProFractional laser will be just as effective for acne scars as it is when combined with the CO2 Fractional laser.

New York oculoplastic and reconstructive surgeon Amiya Prasad, M.D. reviews their concerns in this video, and explains how laser treatment for acne scars often means reducing heat exposure achieved by two different lasers, and how acne scar treatment goes beyond just lasers, and into improving overall quality and fullness of the skin:

1:17 — Dr. Prasad details his background training in cosmetic oculofacial plastic and reconstructive surgery, as well as his experience working with CO2 lasers since the early 90s

2:06 — How the original CO2 lasers of the early 90s produced results akin to second degree burns, and posed many risks and challenges for patients

2:40 — How the introduction of the Erbium laser in 1998 allowed for less thermal heat delivered to skin and quicker recovery times

3:08 — Dr. Prasad discusses what a typical laser treatment strategy entails for boxcar type acne scars, using Erbium laser and CO2 laser

3:54 — The role of microneedling with platelet-rich plasma in the treatment of acne scars

4:15 — How acne scars are also a result of volume loss (loss of facial fat), and how skin could benefit more from volume correction with fillers

5:13 — How a steady, long-term approach to acne scar treatment is best, instead of skipping from one treatment to another

5:56 — How a technique called backlighting helps to see where the acne scars are at their deepest, and which areas can best benefit from volume corrections and skin quality improvement

6:47 — How the goal of laser treatment is to maximize outcome and minimize downtime
