A member asked:
Can you tell me, are acne scar removal products(creams like bio oil, selevax etc)as effective as fractional co2 laser?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: You'll be cruelly disappointed. I'm sorry your acne was neglected and you ended up with scars. If you want them fixed, you'll need a laser, a filler or microsurgery.
