I am half korean with a somewhat olive skin tone. I've had acne scars for the past few years(I'm 22)and have gotten silicone injections for over a year now. Sadly, they don't seem to be working as I hoped. I understand that they are permanent, which raises concerns on whether or not I will be able to get anything done (laser wise) to help this problem. My scars are less deep but are still there.I need any advice on what could work or future work to be done, this is taking over my life :(
