- Punch excision followed by a laser such as Fraxel re:pair which is a fractionated CO2 laser device is a reasonable strategy for ice-pick type scars in Fitz type I and II (lighter) skin types.
- Ice pick scars are hard to treat: we use a combination of subcision, laser resurfacing, deep chemical peeling to improve these scars.
- However, Fraxel laser resurfacing may improve more superficial scarring associated with chronic acne
- It is vital to undergo a full pre assessment to ensure that your skin type is fully assessed and to be accurate about your medical history. This particular procedure might not be the right treatment for you. It is crucial that the Doctor does a full History and Physical Examination and listens to your concerns. It very important to understand the individual needs of each patient because one procedure could work on one patient and then not another.
