Q: Erbium Laser Treatment For Acne Scars

asked by: jo-ann on June 26th, 2006

New User

I went to a dermatologist today and recommended erbium laser treatment to improve my acne scars. The treatment is quite expensive and on top of that, I have to buy $400 worth of chemical regimen to go with the laser treatment. I have been having acne since I was 12. During my teenager years, I suffered from cystic acne and after many many facial treatments, I am now left with pitted and indented acne scars. I wonder if any of you have tried the erbium laser for their acne scars and what are the results. I'm desparate.
Thanks
