Dr. Rapaport uses multiple treatments on each patient to successfully treat acne scars. Acne scars come in various sizes and shapes, so treatment must be individualized.
Elevated scars can be treated by flattening or leveling. Shallow scars can be blended with surrounding tissue with laser.
Further more, the whiteness of the scars is improved with the laser by replacing scar tissue with more vascular skin. Deeper broad scars, and "ice pick" scars or pits respond less favorably to the laser; i.e. the deep valley like depressions can not be lifted by the laser. For this reason, Dr. Rapaport has developed a combined approach to correct acne scars of the face. Mult-lift Acne Scar Reconstruction is given in an office like setting within our office thus reducing expensive hospitalization costs and the patient usually goes home couple of hours after treatment.
