Acne Solutions Forum

Have you considered adding a section to the website on acne scars - how to avoid getting them but if you do, how to get rid of them?

That's a good question. Acne scars are so depressing. I don't think there is much you can do unless you have semi-surgical treatments carried out by a cosmetic dermatologist or surgeon and they are pretty expensive.

Things like peels and microdermabrasion kits for the home market that you get from shops aren't able to do much for acne scars in my experience. I have thought of getting medical treatment - a proper peel or something - but I have been put off by the cost and the prospect of taking time off and maybe having big scabs on my face - not to mention the pain! There are less invasive treatments but I am sceptical that they will make much difference to acne scars.

There are also those dermal fillers all the celebs are having but they all look like hamsters! I don't want to have a pudding face!
