I am a 22 Asian girl. I have several pitted acne scar on both of my cheeks, and I also have oily skin with enlarged pores and broken capilaries around my nose. I have to wear foundation everyday to cover them. I am getting married next year, so I want to have a good skin condition on the big day. (At least go without those pitted scars which is not able be covered by foundation) What kind of laser or treatment should I have? And What is the price range I am going to spend on these? Thank you.

Answer: #laserresurfacing acne scars require a combination of procedures including but not limited to laser resurfacing. best would be for you to be evaluated in person and then determine the short and long-term plan to treat your scars. I use a combination of lasers, sometimes combined with surgeries along with either fat grafting or other filler injections. you can look at the pics below

Answer: Pitted acne scars can be improved with laser. One of the best lasers for acne scarring is the 1540nm non-ablative fractionated resurfacing laser. I use the one made by Palomar. I usually recommend 3-4 sessions with this laser, which delivers heat into the skin to help reconfigure the scar and help promote collagen production. you will be red for about a day or two. With the last session, I do the 1540 first, and then use a 2940nm fractionated Yag laser. With this you will have about 5 days of downtime - pretty red at first. If your scar are very deep, the laser can be done with subcision where a small blade is put under the skin to but some of the deep scar bands. A small amount of fat can also be placed under the scars to help fill them in. Unfortunately acne scars take a lot of work to improve, and it will cost you a few thousand to really make a good improvement.
