Hi, I™m a 25 year-old Asian male who recently cleared from acne. I™m pretty new to acne scar treatments, but have been doing some research. In particular, I™ve watched Dr. Davin Lim™s video about treating acne scars and that™s how I discovered the acne.org community. In my photos, my right cheek has many scars that are under 3 months old. In Dr. Davin Lim™s video ( - 2:30 mark), he mentions that for early scarring using fractional laser resurfacing is enough. I feel a bit pressured for time since my right cheek scars may benefit from quick action. I've attached multiple photos in different lightings.

I™m based in Ontario, Canada so I would appreciate dermatologist recommendations in the area.

Any advice or insight on treatment options and doctors is much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I think fractional lasers cause texture issues aka dotted appearance. That is why I always prefer full ablative mode. Maybe depends on the number of passes done by doctor.

But in your case scars are not bad, subcision and few cross sessions should do the trick.
