Acne Scar treatment

Is there a good treatment of acne scars?

Acne scars are difficult to deal with. The majority of cosmetic and plastic surgeons simply offer false hopes. In reality there is little that can help once an acne scar has developed.

The best treatment is perhaps a laser. However, first you need to find a good cosmetic surgeon and someone who knows about acne. Most of these specialists are in the business just to make money and will simply zap you with a laser- and could not give a shit about the outcome.

Secondly, lasers are also prohibitively expensive. Third lasers also have their own complications that can make your acne scar look worse.

Best advice, if you have minor acne scars, use some camouflage. If the scars are really bothering you, seek a good skin doctor. Take your time, this is not an emergency and you should not be rushed into any procedure. Get a second opinion if you have any doubt- there are way too many healthcare professionals who do not know their mouth from the backside.

Your options include a laser to resurface the skin, surgery to remove the scar and dermal fillers. Laser is the best only for the most superficial scars but it will cost you thousands of dollars. These doctors are in there to make money and offer no guarantee. So buyer beware, medicine is a business with no refunds. All those peels and chemicals are worthless. Good luck
