La mer, mederma, massages, and nothing seems to work for acne scars. would a laser treatment work?

Acne scars are tough: There are a lot of options available to improve acne scarring. The proper treatment depends upon the severity of the scarring. Topical creams and ointments are not usually helpful. Non-invasive lasers help with very superficial scarring, more invasive lasers are better for moderate scarring, and both dermabrasion and surgical excision are best for more severe scarring.

Fractionated laser : One of the best treatments for acne scarring is fractionated laser. Depending on your skin color, texture and extent of scarring there are different laser options out there. A non-ablative fractionated laser like the fraxel re:store or dual has no real downtime, but requires multiple treatments. A fractionated co2 laser is more aggressive with about a week downtime, but may give faster results.
