Understanding Acne Scars
Acne scars can form when inflammation damages collagen within the skin. They may appear as depressions, uneven texture, enlarged pores or areas of altered colour. Different scar types respond differently, and deeper scars may require a combination of treatments. FRAX non-ablative fractional resurfacing is designed to stimulate collagen remodelling and improve selected textural acne scars over time.
Why Do Acne Scars Develop?
Scarring is more likely after deep or prolonged inflammatory acne, delayed treatment, picking or squeezing lesions and individual differences in healing. A professional assessment is needed to identify the scar type and decide whether resurfacing alone or a combined approach is appropriate.
Nordlys® FRAX 1550 Skin Resurfacing
FRAX may be suitable for adults with selected atrophic acne scars, uneven texture or enlarged pores after active acne is under control. It may not be appropriate during active infection, recent tanning or when certain medicines are being used.

Benefits
May soften the appearance of selected acne scars; improves uneven skin texture; stimulates collagen remodelling; non-ablative approach with less downtime than fully ablative resurfacing; treatment depth and intensity can be tailored to the individual.
Recovery & Downtime
Redness, warmth, mild swelling and a rough or dry skin texture may occur for several days. The skin can appear bronzed or feel sensitive as it renews. Recovery varies with treatment intensity. Gentle skincare and strict sun protection are important.
Treatment Process
After consultation and scar assessment, the skin is prepared and comfort measures are used as appropriate. The FRAX handpiece delivers fractional laser energy across the treatment area. Cooling and detailed aftercare are provided following the procedure.
Results
Collagen remodelling is gradual, so improvement continues over several weeks and months. A course of sessions is commonly recommended. The degree of improvement depends on scar type, depth, skin response and adherence to aftercare.

Can FRAX be performed while I still have active acne?
FRAX can improve the appearance and texture of selected acne scars, but complete removal cannot be guaranteed. Deeper or complex scars may need a combination of treatments.
A course is usually recommended. The exact number depends on scar type, depth, treatment intensity and the response of your skin.
Patients may feel heat or prickling. Comfort measures are used as appropriate, and treatment settings are adjusted according to the individual plan.
Redness, warmth and roughness can last several days. Recovery varies according to the treatment intensity and individual skin response.
Active inflammatory acne should be assessed first. In many cases, active acne is managed before resurfacing acne scars.
