They make me really depressed so I’m thinking about getting it treated by a laser or whatever the latest thing the dermatolists use. BUT, I’ve seen some pretty nasty pictures on the internet of peoples’ treatment go totally wrong, they end up with a burnt face or severe redness. please help =(

In most of the cases acne lesions get cured unnoticed leaving behind a trace of hyperpigmented or reddish marks on the skin. In a true sense these are not acne scars, rather postinflammatory changes initiated by our skin’s natural healing process which takes about 6 to 12 months to bring itself back to its normal healthy state, provided there is no more acne lesions erupted in that region. However, if any pigmentation or disfigurement persists for more than 1 year, it could be considered as an acne scar. Prevention is better than cure—this famous adage is quite relevant to handle postinflammatory changes caused by acne. As soon as you notice the first sign of acne outbreaks take necessary precautionary measures to remove them root and branch. Early stage mild lesions could be healed easily with the help of numerous topical over-the-counter products or home remedies.

I want to get laser treatment for hyperpigmentation from acne on my face. It’s moderately severe.

-how much would this cost, and how many sessions would I need?

my acne is basically cleared up now that I’m on birth control, but I do get a few spots still…can I still have laser? I also want to go on accutane this summer so I can get off birth control and not have to worry about acne anymore. Is it ok to take after laser treatments?

Acne affects as much as 80% of teenagers and others in their early twenties, while most get out with only a few minor acne scars, some even without any at all; there is also a notable percentage that suffers from acne scars.

There are two types of skin problems caused by acne that can be recognized as acne scars, one is the red pigmentation that appears after acne has healed. These contrary to popular belief, are not scars, rather, these are post-inflammatory lesions which occurs as the acne heals, and these can be present for up to 6-12 months. If however the pigmentation that you see lasts longer than the said period, you may be facing acne scars.

I have acne scars all over my back. Some are light scars but others are deeper and red marks. Are there any effective home remedies for acne scars

I was wondering if Zenmed’s Acne Scar Treatment works for ice pick scars or works in general? Thanks.

One of the most painful things about acne is the ugly scar they live behind. A reminder of the pains and embarrasement they must have caused previously. Most teenage and young adults worry more about the scars left behind than the acne lesions themselves.

I’ve suffered from severe acne scars and it’s ruining my life and I am so SICK of the way I look. I’m 29 and I’m at the age where I should have a husband and I look in the mirror and think, who the hell is going to want me.
My dermatologist gave me a lame answer and I’ve looked on the internet but I would like to talk to a real person. I’d like to go to another dermatologist but I’m wondering if getting a second opinion is worth it, I’ve been disappointed so many times.
Is there a procedure that will cure SEVERE acne scars?
I’m willing to endure sexual torture every day for the rest of my life, I don’t care, as long as it makes my skin perfect and smooth again.
What is the best procedure available for severe acne scars?
Could plastic surgery help?
Could it be that my dermatologist is stupid and I should seek a second opinion?
She was really unsympathetic to my depression related to acne.

If you can help me thank you!!!
