In my opinion, acne scars are a very challenging problem and most patients do poorly with laser treatments. Sometimes, just a visit to a good dermatologist can do more than any laser. The biggest thing that I see when people come in for a laser consult is that they haven't gotten their acne under control. Doing a laser without getting the underlying problem fixed is the worst thing that you can do.
Lasers work for a very limited type of acne scarring and usually provide no more than about 20 to 30% improvement at best. Fillers, on the other hand, can provide some real improvement. Make sure you are getting the right thing as 80% plus of patients who come to me for laser for acne scars end up doing something different (and loving it!).
