What to do if i have a couple of deep wide acne scars and i really need to know what type of laser gets rid of them on the first treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acne scar: Skin resurfacing lasers can soften the appearance of some scars but will not be very effective against larger or deeper scars. Those may be best rates with excision. Recommend seeing a dermatologist or plastic surgeon.
