When can patients with acne scars undergo laser resurfacing?
Patients who are still suffering from severe cystic acne are not candidates for laser resurfacing. Once a patient’s acne is under control, resurfacing may be performed. Individuals who have taken isotretinoin (Accutane) in the past 6-12 months or who are prone to abnormal scarring may not be appropriate candidates for this type of procedure. Our skin care experts will determine if laser resurfacing is safe for you during your initial consultation.
