Acne Scars - Laser Treatment Or Any Better Option
Posted: 08-20-04 19:00pm

I have been seeing so many ads about acne laser treatment where they say they can remove acne scars, does it really work. Is there any better way to get the acne scars go away than laser treatment. Can anyone share ur experiences.
Thanks.

I don't have any personal experience, but my understanding is that the laser treatment works real well, especially for acne scars. Some big scars or deep scars may not go away completely, but they fade nicely. Laser is the best thing if you want the greatest results. There are, however, facial chemical peels that are much cheaper and can lighten the scars as well.

What are the chemical peals that get rid of scars? Can you detail on what are they and how one should use.
Thanks a lot.

There are multiple, i'm not sure of them all.. I would say your best bet is to find either a dermatologist or a skin clinic.. Sometimes places that do plastic surgery do them as well. Find a place and get a consultation (some might do one for free). They should be able to tell you the different ones and which one would work best for you since it might vary on what type skin you have and how bad the scars are as to which would work best. Some web sites claim to sell them.. But I would not do one at home because they can burn your skin real bad if not done properly.
