The issue with using co2 or erbium is highly dependent on the skin type, since Fitzpatrick 4 and above cant use co2 or not preferred, here are some studies showing improvement with erbium in acne scar patients.
These are some studies I saw on a website, so just want to share with the community here:

Thats the thing you have to wait atleast 3 to 6 months to see the results. And maybe you might need more sessions depending on severity of scars.

dr Taylor fromSalt Lake City Utah uses the same device shown in this studies.
