New Procedure Cleared by FDA to Treat Acne Scars

There used to be a time when little could be done for acne scars. Thank goodness times have changed! There are now many options when it comes to acne scar treatment beyond the old-time dermabrasion.

And now there is a new treatment. It's called Portrait® Plasma, and it has already been in use to treat lines and wrinkles, sun damage, and more. It has now been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat acne scarring.

Portrait® Plasma is an in-office procedure that works similarly to a laser treatment. But it's being promoted as being less invasive, and having less downtime, than many laser treatments.
