the same procedure as
for hair transplant,
using a special punch:
The scar will be
replaced with a new
skin graft.
2)Excision: With the
punch the scar tissue is
removed. The wound is
closed and can heal.
3)Punch Elevation:
With the punch the
scar is elevated to the level of the

To
consider |
|
· The question of which acne treatment is ideal
is quite individual and
must be decided on a
case by case basis.
Consult with the
dermatologist to which
treatment is best for
you.
· Often it is necessary to combine different
treatments in order to
optimize the final
result: for example, an
excision with an
injective treatment can
be performed together.
· Note: Active acne
scars may
not be treated with the
laser.
