Restore Your Skin: Advanced Acne Scars Treatment with TCA and Fraxel Laser
At Dr. Ibrahim Jebai’s Facial Surgical Center, we understand how much acne scars can affect your self-confidence—even long after acne has cleared. That’s why we offer a specialized treatment combining TCA laser and Fraxel laser technologies, designed to improve the appearance of acne scars and help you regain smoother, more radiant skin.
Understanding Acne Scars
Acne scars are the result of inflammation from past breakouts, which can leave behind indentations, discoloration, or uneven skin texture. These scars can linger for years, even after successful acne treatment. While acne itself may be a temporary concern, the scars it leaves behind often require advanced dermatological care.
There are several types of acne scars, including:
Ice pick scars – deep, narrow scars that look like small holes
Boxcar scars – broad depressions with sharply defined edges
Rolling scars – wave-like indentations on the skin
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation – dark spots that remain after the acne has healed
Our dual-modality treatment effectively targets all of these types, significantly improving skin texture and tone.
Why Acne Scars Persist After Acne is Treated
Treating acne is only the first step. Once the active lesions are under control, many patients are left wondering why their skin still doesn’t look smooth. This is because scarring occurs deep within the skin’s layers and requires specific therapies to regenerate collagen and resurface the affected area. That’s where our combination approach using TCA laser and Fraxel laser comes in.
Dual-Power Technology: TCA and Fraxel Laser Explained
At the core of our acne scar treatment are two clinically-proven technologies:
What is TCA Laser?
TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) laser refers to a chemical peel that uses trichloroacetic acid to remove the outermost layers of damaged skin. This process promotes new skin growth and collagen regeneration, essential for diminishing the appearance of acne scars.
Key benefits of TCA:
Targets deeper layers of the skin
Reduces pigmentation and texture irregularities
Stimulates the body’s natural healing process
Especially effective for ice pick and boxcar scars
What is Fraxel Laser?
The Fraxel laser is a non-ablative fractional laser that penetrates the skin with microscopic beams of energy. Unlike traditional lasers that treat the whole skin surface, Fraxel only treats a fraction of the skin at a time, leaving surrounding tissue intact for quicker healing.
Fraxel is ideal for:
Smoothing out rolling scars
Minimizing pore size
Enhancing skin elasticity
Promoting even skin tone and texture
When used together, TCA laser and Fraxel laser provide a comprehensive solution to improve the appearance of acne scars.
Who is a Good Candidate?
This treatment is specifically designed for individuals who:
Have already treated their active acne
Struggle with visible scarring, pits, or uneven texture
Are looking for non-surgical skin rejuvenation options
Want long-lasting, noticeable improvement
It’s important to wait until your acne is no longer active, as performing laser and chemical treatments on inflamed skin may lead to further irritation. During your consultation, Dr. Ibrahim Jebai will assess your skin and determine if you’re an ideal candidate for this procedure.
Personalized Treatment Plan with Dr. Ibrahim Jebai
Every patient’s skin is different, and so is their treatment plan. Dr. Ibrahim Jebai, a renowned expert in cosmetic and reconstructive skin procedures in Lebanon, will assess your skin type, the severity of scarring, and your desired outcome to create a customized plan using both TCA laser and Fraxel laser therapies.
Steps include:
Skin evaluation and consultation
Pre-treatment skin prep and priming
TCA laser session to peel the outer damaged layers
Fraxel laser session to stimulate collagen production
Post-treatment care and follow-up appointments
This dual approach ensures that all layers of damaged skin are treated effectively while promoting natural skin healing and regeneration.
What to Expect During the Procedure
A typical session includes:
Preparation: Cleansing the skin and applying numbing cream to ensure comfort.
TCA application: A precise amount of TCA is applied to the target areas.
Laser treatment: Fraxel laser pulses are administered over the affected regions.
Post-care instructions: Guidelines to manage redness, peeling, and recovery.
Most patients describe the sensation as a mild stinging or tingling during the procedure. Recovery time ranges from 3 to 7 days, depending on the depth of the treatment.
Results: What You Can Expect
You may begin to see visible results within a few weeks. These will continue to improve over the following months as collagen remodeling occurs.
Expected improvements:
Softer and smoother skin texture
Reduction in visible indentations and pits
Faded dark spots and discoloration
Healthier, rejuvenated skin appearance
Multiple sessions may be recommended to achieve optimal results, depending on the severity of your acne scars.
