Laser treatments: If the scars are deep, excision/grafting and laser treatments are probably the most effective. If the scarring is mostly discoloration, chemical peels might help. Seek the opinion of a qualified plastic surgeon or dermatologist. Good luck!

Acne Scars: Pulses of laser light coagulate the scar tissue and trigger healthy new tissue to form in the skin. Healing time is minimal; patients may leave the treatment with pinkness or redness in the skin, similar to that of sunburn, and will experience minor and non-painful peeling within three to seven days following the treatment. Get laser treatment for your scars.
