Newer generation laser like the Deka Fractional CO2 laser, and Fotona Picosencond laser provides a shorter downtime of 5-7 days to patient, much shorter compared to conventional laser which may takes up to 2 weeks of healing.

This is a myth, as the basis of depressed acne scarring is that the skin over the scar is thinned and pitted, and fractional laser are used to resurface and remodel the skin layer with new collagen, this will thicken the skin layer, improve the surface texture of the skin, and does not thin the skin.

However, there is a process of healing in between the laser sessions, so your skin may appear more sensitive during the first week of treatment. Each patients will be provided with a post care protocol in our clinic to help optimized treatment result
