Is There an Alternative to Dermabrasion for Acne Scars?

Dermabrasion is an excellent technique to resurface the skin and correct some acne scars. Before proceeding, be sure that you are working with a board-certified plastic surgeon who is well experienced in facial surgery and skin resurfacing. Such an expert will be able to determine whether you'd best be served by using dermabrasion, dermal fillers, or surgical procedures such as substitution of a scar or complete excision. Every scar, like every patient is unique. A surgeon who has expertise in all these techniques will help you pick the one that's best in your case.
 

A TCA peel using varying strengths of acids can have remarkable effects through an office procedure that is very cost efficient. Typically, the charges are between $500 and $900 for a 45 minute office procedure. This is a technique that when used properly can be tailored to individual pores and scars, instead of just blanketing the face with multiple laser treatments. Definitely, an underutilized technique.
