Lasers and peels: Lasers and chemical peels can improve the discoloration and scarring. One can't promise perfection. Significant improvement is possible.

Lasers can help: If you only have blemishes and no textural changes then non-abaltive laser treaments and a bleaching can be very helpful. Some of the lasers to look for are the nd/yag lasers such as the affirm mulitplex, and fraxel. Also pulse dye lasers are extremely helpful for this condition. If there are texrtural changes on the skin as scar and pits, then factional co2 lasers are the best!
