Acne Scar Information

Acne scars can be very bothersome, treatment is difficult, and many find themselves frustrated. Getting the wrong treatment wastes time and money.  Choosing an experienced surgeon is the first step in improving your acne scars. Find out what is best for you below.

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.

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).
