I personally havent gotten it but i do know that it basically burns the skin to a certain depth and the dead skin then peels away leaving new healthy skin in its place. There are also many topical treatments for acne scars as well as other surgical procedures.|||There are many treatment options for acne scars -- not just lasers. Which treatment option is right for you depends on the specific type of acne scarring you have. Dermatologists have a classification system for acne scars: rolling, boxcar, and ice-pick. Which type of acne scar you have will determine what treatment is best for you: dermabrasion, dye-pulse laser, V-Beam/Smoothbeam laser, or even dermal fillers (Restalyne is the only one I would recommend -- it provides truly long-term results). All of these treatments have different prices. Also, some of these treatments are not appropriate for certain skin types (like those who are prone to keloid scarring).
I would *not* recommend going to a medical spa. They will sell you whatever you are willing to pay for, whether it will provide you a benefit or not. Go to an experienced dermatologist who offers a full range of services and get a full consultation.
Here is a link from Mayo Clinic%26#039;s website on acne and treatment of acne scars. Good luck!
