Hi all- I am 62 years old, and had cystic acne as a teenager. What would be the best way to reduce or eliminate these scars? I have read about dermabrasion, but would like to know other options. Thanks!
Get surgery lol. Just kidding. Actually though I have heard good things about the new laser method that doctors use. Its not too expensive and the results are pretty substantial.
Hi Garnet46,
There are many different treatments available to fade acne scarring. The best advice I can give you is to talk to your dermatologist, as without photos it is hard to know how deep your scars are and which treatment is best for you. Take a look at this article which has a quick summary of different acne treatments that are available, such as laser treatments and punch grafts.
