Unhappy Laser Acne Treatment

I have disgusting acne scars and I'm seriously thinking of laser treatment for them.
howewer, these before and after laser pics were a great disappoint to me:

(no linking as I'm a newbie here)

people were doing the procedure for many times, and some of them seem to be wearing makeup.. i'm afraid, the procedure is not much effective.
Can anyone give an advice?

Re: Laser Acne Treatment

If you have a good doctor, he/she will tell you what to realistically expect from the laster treatment. They will tell you that in many cases it doesn't work and in some it can make the situation worse. So you really have to think that over and decide if its worth the risk. I have heard both great things and bad things about laser. If I were you, I would get some references and really do a "background check" on your doc before committing.

Re: Laser Acne Treatment

I tried the Fraxel laser with minimal results after 1 treatment. Microdermabrasion has done wonders eliminating my scars! I've had about 8 treatments over the last 1 1/2 years. It's kind of expensive, but well worth it. Best of all, NO side effects except your skin is red for about an hour, but you can put makeup on right afterward so no big deal.

Re: Laser Acne Treatment

Ah, well don't forget that no treatment will make you 100% better. You will generally have an improvement but it won't be perfect. There are also risks involved, such as scarring or discoloration.
