I got off of accutane at the end of May last year and am currently suffering with the after math of scarring. i have a lot of redness and many pitted scaring. my parents have recently told me that we can begin to look into laser surgery to get rid of the scarring. money being no object. has anyone heard of anything with good results. i have very sensitive skin so i really wanna do my research on this. PLEASE anyone let me know of anything you may have heard.
thank you.
 
Laser is very good for red marks but not the best thing for pitted scarring. It will get rid of the redness very fast but don't expect a lot for the pits. You'll need lots of treatments before you can see some improvement which could be no more than 30% - 40%. A friend of mine did a few lasers and she got 30% improvement. I suggest you talk to a doctor and ask if he has any success stories. Ask how many treatments are needed and what kind of results you can expect, i.e. 30%, 40%, 50% and so on.

For myself I never did any lasers or other procedures. I just used two OTC topicals Silkia camellia oil and Epidermx Microdermabrasion to treat my pitted scarring. After over a year the pits are quite invisible. I could say it was about 90% plumped up. I'd suggest you look into these products while also trying laser, since money being no object. You can use laser speed up things but like I said before it won't get rid of the pits 100%, unless you do it I don't know how many times. You still need something on the sideline to help your skin heal from the bottom up. Good luck.
