After receiving a successful course of acne treatment at DermHair Clinic using the Spectra laser and medications, it was time to address the next step; this patient had been left with severe acne scars. Dr. Umar approached her scarring with the Fraxel Dual laser, due to its effectiveness and safety for use on African Americans and other people with darker skin tones.
Measurable Acne Scar Improvement With Fraxel Dual
It only took three sessions to see a remarkable improvement. Now, four months after the start of her acne scar treatment, the patient proudly and confidently shows off her make-up-free skin.
Dr. Umar conducted a computerized (VISIA) complexion analysis before and after her scar removal, for a numbers-based testimony of the improvement. The results show major percentile jumps in refined skin texture, reduced pore size, decreased acne-causing bacterial activity, and a significant reduction of brown spots.
The patient remarks that, in not needing to wear make-up anymore, she can be more herself. She highly recommends this treatment to anyone going through a struggle with acne and acne scars, adding, “In meeting [Dr. Umar] I was able to get results that I wasn’t able to get before.” Watch the video of her acne scare treatment before and after.
