Default laser for acne scars

so, i completed a 5 month course of accutane a couple of weeks ago. thank goodness, i'm still acne free. i went to talk to the derma yesterday and she said that it would still be in my system for a couple of months and it's as strong as if i were still taking it.

she also does cosmetic procedures and thought that laser treatments would be the best way for me to get rid of the scarring. it's very expensive- close to $500 a treatment and i'll need probably 3 or 4. if anyone's gotten this done, has it been successfull in getting rid of acne scars?

Actually I was just talking to my doctor about this and she suggested a chemical peel for me. And ofcourse I said yes because it's SO cheap!

yeah, i was planning on getting chemical peels, but the derma said it wasn't right for my kind of acne scars, which are pink/light red. it's more for brown spots or age spots.

I've booked myself an appointment at a clinic for 6th July to see what they suggest - they offer n-lite and chemical peels............I will let you know how I get on.

Fingers crossed
