some years back I broke out bad with acne and altho all that is now gone it has destroyed my beautiful skin. its not horrible but I still remember the horror and get very self conscious when someone wants to take my pic. I was wondering is there a treatment like laser or something that actually helps diminish my scars??? it makes me feel so rotten!

I hate photos because of my scars...any treatments?

There are a number of dermetological treatments for acne scars that you could have done. I don't know if these treatments are covered by insurance. Probably not as it's a cosmetic procedure. But some of the most common treatments are Microdermabrasion, laser resurfacing, acid peels, and collegen injections.

This site lists some treatment and rates what other people thought of it and also gives a price estimate for each procedure: www.acne.org/scars.php

I know someone I went to highschool with did the acid peal and it worked really well. He didn't have perfect skin afterwards, but it was much better than it had been.

You can buy a home microdermabrasion kit, but in my opinion, they don't work. They just aren't the same as the real treatment.

I hope you find the right treatment for you. I know how it feels to be self conscious and not wanting my picture taken. It's hard. I'm 23 and I'm still struggling with acne. Let me know what works best for you so I can try it when I get mine under control. Good luck.
