Suffering From Acne, Scars On Face. Suggested Laser Treatment. Options Other Than Laser?

Hello Doctor. I am 24 year male.
I have been suffering from acnes since n year. Now that after taking tablets, acnes have gone but have left lots of scars on my face.
The scars are huge in number and it totally makes my face dull and black.
Now the doctor told that he would do a laser treatment for me which can clear all the skin problems and make it even.
Kindly advice me on this.
Is laser good or are there any other alternatives.
Thank you.

Hello,

Black marks are due to scar formation in the healing process of the acne.
These are permanent danger to the layers of the skin and can not be treated with medicines and any other alternative methods.
laser treatment is advisable for better and long lasting results.

Hi ,
Option you can try are
1: Dermaroller
2: Chemical peels
3: Laser resurfacing .
Would suggest to go for dermaroller first .Please talk to dermatologist to evaluate and start the treatment.These scars are curable and you need not worry on the same.
