Acne Scars

Types of Acne Scars

For many patients, there is no one procedure that will accomplish all of one’s goals. Therefore, is often best to use a combined approach utilizing two or more different procedures to achieve an optimal result. Occasionally these procedures can be performed at the same time, although often these procedures are performed several weeks apart. Below is a list of commonly performed procedures, their limitations and benefits.

Summary

As with most cosmetic surgery, treatment options must be considered on individual basis, as no one procedure is best for all. In many cases, one procedure may not afford as much benefit as two or more procedures. Therefore it is essential to evaluate each person on individual basis and devise a treatment plan based on the patient’s desires for improvement, recovery time needed, cost, and the risks of the procedure(s).
