Acne Scars

Is there any good treatment for acne scars?

No, there is nothing like a pill or lotion that can get rid of your acne scars. Best advice- see a decent skin doctor. Listen to what he/she says and never rush in for any treatment. Some skin doctors are like car mechanics. They jack up the prices and make you come for multiple sessions which are prohibitively expensive. So if in doubt get a second opinion. 

The best treatment in my opinion for acne scars is laser. It will cost you a fortune. However, the laser will only work for superficial acne scars. Deep acne scars will not improve with any laser. You should also know that after spending 1000s of dollars on laser, there is a good possibility that the treatment may worsen your scar. So speak to someone who has had the treatment-this means another patient and not the doctor. Doctors always brag and lie about their results!
