There are two excellent laser alternatives for acne scars.
The Fraxel Laser provides consistently good results, although depending on the depth of the acne scars, you may need 5 to 6 treatments spaced one month apart. You will generally observe redness (like a bad sunburn for about 3 days to a week) after each treatment.
The Erbium Laser such as from Sciton utilizes a laser resurfacing technique which can generate excellent results after one treatment, although it can be repeated to achieve even better results. Healing time is longer although it produces more consistently appropriate response.
Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine which procedure is appropriate for you and your lifestyle.
