I Was Thinking About Getting Affirm Laser on my Acne Scars. Is This Procedure Effective?

I am 18 years old and decided to plan on getting rid of my acne scars. I no longer get acne due to my strict diet and i exercise daily. I was just wondering how reliable this procedure is. I have read some reviews where some people were very satisfied with their results. I also heard some people claiming that their face became dry a year after? Anyways i was wondering if this procedure would be suited for me I dont have any deep acne scars, just some i would like to get rid of. Thanks!
