Treatment of Acne Scars
Acne, especially if moderate or severe, can leave marks on the skin. Some will improve or disappear with time, but depressed or keloid scars tend to stay. It is important to have established satisfactory control of acne before starting treatment for acne scars.

•  Intense Pulsed Light Treatment    decreases pigmentation and    redness and also gently improves    skin texture. •  Pulsed Dye Laser effectively    improves red acne marks,    especially if these are new.	•  Injections of corticosteroids into the    scars. •  Pulsed Dye Laser.	•  Surgical scar revision can be useful    for certain types of depressed scars. •  Injection of filler material into scars,    such as using Restylane. •  Ablative skin resurfacing: this is not    so popular due to the long recovery    time. •  FRAXEL Laser Treatment is at    present considered the most effective    non-invasive treatment for depressed    acne scars. It removes old, scarred    tissue and stimulates growth of new,    healthy skin. •  Laser Facial is a no down-time    treatment that can stimulate the    production of collagen inside the    skin, improving acne scars.
