Approximately how much does it cost to treat acne scars effectively?
The cystic breakouts from last year have completely subsided, but the pitted marks on my cheeks remain, causing me immense stress every time I look in the mirror. The unevenness is particularly noticeable under overhead lighting or when I apply base makeup, so I have decided to start acne scar treatment in earnest.
I have heard that ointments or home care alone have limitations for pitted scars. I would like to know what lasers or procedures are used to treat acne scars that are deeply embedded on the cheeks, like mine. I am also concerned about whether the pain is quite severe and how long the redness or scabbing lasts after the procedure. Since I work, I expect to have to schedule treatments over the weekend; typically, how many sessions are required to see noticeable improvement? Please provide a systematic acne scar treatment program and an overview of the approximate costs.
