Red acne rosacea scars
I have red acne rosacea scars all over my cheeks, folliculitis on forehead and hyperpigmentation on both sides of the face. I had undergone few chemical peels but they were of no use. I want to have a laser treatment. How effective is it. Can I have clear skin?

Acne scars can cause red or brown discoloration and uneven skin contour. Usually multiple types of treatments are needed for maximum improvement. Patience is key since the full effect is often not seen for several months.
Laser resurfacing of the skin stimulates the collagen production. This thickens the skin and shrinks the surface area of the scar, and color may be improved as well. The Cross technique uses a very concentrated TCA peel. There are multiple types of laser as well, and the best choice depends on the degree of improvement needed as well as your skin color.
