Ice-Picks or Holes?
Acne scars or ice-picks, often referred by patients as “holes”, are triggered by the inflammatory cascade, which is acne, resulting in the degradation of collagen producing cells and collagen. Dr. Holder’s treatment of choice for acne scars, the Fraxel Re:store laser, targets and restores the collagen producing cells so that your skin can naturally restore itself. Our aftercare regimen is unique to PSD and promotes healing of.
Fraxel Laser for Acne Scars
Smooth out scars. Rebuild healthy skin. Reveal your natural glow.
Fraxel Re:store laser, Dr. Holder’s treatment of choice for patients with acne scarring. Unlike traditional resurfacing treatments, Fraxel uses fractional laser energy to target microscopic zones deep within the skin stimulating your body’s natural collagen production while leaving surrounding tissue untouched for faster healing.
This makes Fraxel especially effective at treating:
- Ice-pick and boxcar scars
- Uneven skin texture
- Post-acne pigmentation
- Enlarged pores
With a series of sessions, Fraxel helps replace damaged tissue with smoother, healthier skin, significantly reducing the appearance of acne scars and improving overall tone and texture.
What to Expect with Fraxel
Most patients begin to see results within a few weeks, with continued improvement over several months as collagen remodeling takes place. Because the treatment is non-ablative (meaning it doesn’t remove the top layer of skin), downtime is minimal, and our exclusive PSD aftercare routine helps enhance healing and comfort.
Each Fraxel session is customized by Dr. Holder to meet your skin’s needs, ensuring safe and effective treatment for all skin types.
