Tags: age 18-24, acne scars
I'm 18 & have damaged skin due to popping, scratching, &picking acne in the past. I also have huge enlarged pores &lots of blackheads. I want to get the best (&safe) laser done for especially my acne scars. I'm very depressed about them. I don't want to go anywhere or do anything anymore. Dermatologists (I've seen a couple) say they are mild scars, I may have a few moderate ones. Which laser should I get? SmartXide seems the safest, but Mixto seems more likely to give results (but scary). Please help. I have little money & only get one shot at this.
