Laser Genesis and Microdermabrasion for Acne Scars Failed
I've had 7 Microdermabrasion treatments with Laser Genesis over a series of months recently, and my skin still is sunken in from cystic acne scars.I have done a plethora of other treatments through the years as well to no avail. My skin looks the same as it always did after years of all these treatments. Is there any hope left?
