Acne scarring and hyperigmenation can be treated with lasers and peels

Depending on your skin type you can be treated either with bleaching creams and peels or lasers like the Fraxel laser. The Fraxel dual has two different settings to treat pigmentation and the other for scars. Find someone with alot of experience in your city who is board certified.

Treating Acne Scars and Hyperpigmentation

The pictures are poor quality, and regardless, it is difficult to answer this question without seeing you in person. There are different treatment options for improving acne scars and pigmentation problems. I recommend you consult with a board-certified dermatologist experienced in treating both.

Acne Scar Treatment

In my office I would probably offer you Fraxel Laser to the scar area or Glycolic peels for your scars. If they have pigment they could also respond to Photofacial. Until we see your problem in person it is difficult to give you the best answer. It also depends on your budget. Part of the consultation is spent on helping customize a plan just for your problem and your budget. We do have several options so be sure to see a Board Certified Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon to arrive... more
