Best Treatment for Rolling Scars

Rolling scars are caused by severe inflammation, which destroys the proteins in the skin that give structural integrity (namely, collagen and elastin). These are some of the toughest scars to treat. Most patients with rolling scars also have other types of scars, including boxcar scars. I like to employ a combination approach, using subcision to free up any tethered rolling scars as well as hitting them from the surface with the Fraxel laser. Usually, 1-3 sessions of subcision along with 3-5 sessions of Fraxel can cause a dramatic improvement in the appearance of rolling scars.

Pain level: None after numbing
Recovery time: 1 week
Number of sessions: 1-3 sessions of subcision, 3-5 sessions of Fraxel
Duration of results: Long-lasting
Procedure name: Combination subcision and Fraxel for the treatment of bad acne scars
