For many acne patients, the resulting acne scars which last long after the pimples have disappeared can cause considerable psychosocial distress. Now, a new study recently published in "Lasers in Surgery and Medicine" (August 2008 issue), the peer-reviewed professional journal of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery, shows that a novel laser device combining CO2 ablation with the principles of fractional photothermolysis can significantly improve the appearance of acne scarring without compromising patient safety.
