Which procedure would help minimize the appearance of red scars and dents from hormonal acne? (photos)

November 15, 2022
Asked By:River25 in Whittier, California

I had clear skin a few months ago till I had a bad hormonal acne breakout. It's now clearing but I'm now being left with a ton of scarring. Most of it is bright red scars but there are some that look like dents. I had a previous question about micro laser peels and was told that those scars could get wider and more prominent with the laser. I already have two micro laser peels along with a bbl laser paid off so I'm now worried I shouldn't go forth with it.I need some opinions and advice please.
