In the past decade, Palomar Medical revolutionized the at-home laser treatment with the Palovia Skin Renewing Laser. Lately, I've had several people ask me about Palovia, and whether this type of laser is for acne or acne scarring. Palovia is for neither. In fact, it was designed for anti-aging and has been discontinued.Research dermatologists and laser physicists at Palomar began experimenting with non-ablative fractional laser treatments over 20 years ago. Non-ablative, meaning the outer layer of skin remains in tact, and fractional, meaning to treat a fraction or portion of the skin with each application of light. This equates to faster healing and fewer risks.
While a non-ablative, fractional laser can be beneficial for acne scarring to a certain degree, there are much more effective treatments than Palovia home laser. If you're considering buying one on ebay for your acne scarring, your money will be much better spent on professional laser treatments or stem cell injections.
