Laser Resurfacing for Acne Scars

Laser resurfacing can be very effective at minimizing the appearance of scars.  However, keep your expectations realistic.  There is no perfect treatment for scars, only treatments that can improve the appearance of your scars.  Since you are not adverse to downtime, you will be able to get significant improvement with each treatment.  Look for lasers that stimulate and remodel collagen in the dermis and deep dermis.  
Please also understand the difference between scars.  Are your acne scars crater-appearing or ice pick in appearance?  Crater scars respond best to resurfacing treatments; ice pick scars do not.  The best option for treating ice-pick scars is to have your largest ice-pick scars excised first.  Then after healing, proceed with a series of laser treatments. The number of treatments will be determined by degree of scarring and how well your body creates collagen.

Resurfacing is effective for acne scars, but one treatment is sometimes not enough.  Be cautious about trying to do too much with one treatment.  Unless you are very light in skin color, your risks will climb rapidly and you will risk skin discoloration, and either loss of color or increase in pigment color, especially if you have an ethnic background.*
