I have pretty bad acne scarring on my face and back, I have heard the only way to be 100% rid of them as if they were never there is by laser treatment. I know its expensive but I am willing to pay if I know it will work. Have any of you done it or know someone whos done it? Did it work? Does it really renew your skin so that its 100% clear and flawles, and if not what does it do and look like?
When i asked my dermatologist about getting it done, he said that it should be used as a last resort. He said that it's really expensive, doesn't always work, and its kinda a pain... in that it hurts and afterwards your skin is all red for awhile and you're not supposed to go out in the sun.
So if you've already tried other stuff than go for it but if not i would give some other things a shot first. My dermatologist gave me a prescription for retinol. It's a cream (or you can also get it as a gel) that you put on the scars. I've been using it since last summer and i've seen so much improvement. My acne scars were aweful. They were so bad it looked like i actually still had horrible acne. And now they're to the point where i can barely see them. They are still fading but they arent totally gone yet so I can't say whether or not they will still go away. Laser treatments would be a lot faster than this but it would also be very frustrating to spend so much money on something and then have it not work, and it's definitely not guaranteed to remove your scars 100%.
