FAQ

Q. Are There Different Kinds of Acne Scars?

A. Yes. Acne scars are divided into different types: atrophic, hypertrophic, and ice pick. Atrophic scars have a pit with smooth borders but are not deep. Hypertrophic scars, usually on the chest and back, are found above the skin’s surface and may have a lumpy and thick appearance. Ice pick scars are characterized by a deep pit with pronounced and sharp edges.

Q. What Treatments Are Available to Remove Acne Scars?

A. While various scar treatments have been developed over the years, the safest and most effective treatment is Fractional CO2 Laser. It is a new type of laser that will resurface only a part of the affected skin (hence the name “fractional), without affecting the surrounding area. This reduces the possibility of side effects and speeds up healing.

Q. Does This Laser Treatment Really Work?

A. The majority of patients will begin to see improvements after around 1 week has passed following the treatment. Ongoing improvements will continue for about 6 months. While results will vary from one patient to the next, most will see an improvement ranging from 50 to 70 percent of their condition.

Q. Is There Any Discomfort During the Procedure?

A. The laser treatment is done under local anesthesia and patients are given Valium to ease them into relaxation. The laser resurfacing procedure performed by Dr. Jane results in minimal discomfort and is safe for individuals of different skin types.

Q. Can Co2 laser combine with Other Laser or Procedures?

A.Dr. Jane has a vast experience in acne scar treatment. She often combines with Infini RF for fast healing and better result. To decrease the risk of hyperpigmentation from a CO2 laser, we offer Q-switched Nd Yag Laser and PiQo4 Laser.

I have been battling cystic acne for most of my life and at 51 I didn’t want to do another round of Accutane. My adult acne got increasingly worse this year and I had spent thousands of dollars on many well-known dermatologists in the bay area and San Diego with very little result until I found Dr. Jane Chung. Upon thorough examination and a lengthy consultation, she developed a plan to not only get rid of my acne but the scars and the discoloration. I only had to promise to keep my hands off my face!!! With the combined use of Vbeam, Fraxel, and Silkpeel microdermabrasion, my acne is completely gone and for the first time in my life, I am not packing on the makeup. Additionally, she is the first dermatologist that did not leave me with saggy eyes after Botox. She injected it in completely different places than three other dermatologists and the result was astonishing. Lastly, she is the most reasonably priced derm I have gone to. She frequently has specials that are a third of the price I have paid elsewhere. I will never go to anyone else.
