    I recently went to the dermatoligist with the same question. They recomended alternatives to the laser, one reason being is that is is expensive, and what happens if you get another acne scar? Do the procedure again?

    So, since I had very few scars, I got a dermatoligist made fade cream, much stronger than anything you can buy in the store. It is working very good :-)

    The dermabrassion I was told takes many treatments before you see any results.

    The other good thing that they recomended was something called the “Obagi Blue Peel” it is applied to the face once and it is said to be very good, no scars will be left when it is complete. Cost about 900 bucks, but well worth the money if you have scars!

    Dermabrasion is a waste of money. I can buy a $5 bottle of exfoliating cream that does a better job than dermabrasion. I have had the smoothbeam laser done on my scars also, and it seems to work. But I probably have worse scars than your daughter. If she has 3 minor acne scars, they should just be able to give her a cream that would work well.

    Personally, ive read alot on scars as i have quite a few left over too. What ive heard to do is apply acv(apple cider vinegar, u can buy it at ur grocery store for under 2 bucks) and mix it half and half with warm water. Then dab the diluted acv with a cotton ball and apply it on your scar. Also i have heard that drinking it is great too but it might taste a bit sour :P . Also another great thing to do is go make an appointment with your dermatologist and get her/him to prescribe u a tropical gel called “retin a micro”. As ive heard and read, u need to apply just a lil’ dab on the scar for about twice a day, preferably morning and night. However the downfall to using retin-a micro is that it will peel your skin – but thats how it works. Using retin-a micro will make ur scars get better before it gets worst. tho retin a micro wont work over night, i am more then certain u will achieve decent results from using it atleast about 2-3 weeks. It takes a bit of time, but im positive that if you use this tropical and dab some acv dilutd with water, those maarks will fade in time. gd luck :)
