Question by Cheat Sum: Fraxel Laser Treatment for acne scars?
my dermatologist told me that my best option for minimizing the appearance of my acne scars is to have fraxel laser surgery. For 4 treatments, its going to cost me ,600.
My derm is reputable (I see tv commercial about her clinics) and I’ve been seeing her for the past 3 years.
Should I be skeptical of this procedure? My research tells me that people has had good and bad experiences with fraxel treatments. What’s your thought?

Well,to get rid of acne scars,the best procedure to take is a laser treatment which is what you’re planning to take right now.I would say that would be a very cheap treatment since it consists of 4 treatments and you should proceed if you want.Plus,this procedure is much faster and improve your skin complexion without any side effects.However,if you would like to opt for cheaper alternatives you could try these alternatives at home too(:
Baking Soda-Exfoliate your skin with baking soda. Often times, a version of baking soda is used in cosmetic microdermabrasion treatments. You can give yourself a mini microdermabrasion treatment by mixing one teaspoon of baking soda with the two teaspoons of filtered water.Then gently rub the mixture on your acne scar for sixty seconds then rinse it off.
Fresh Fruits-In addition to eating fresh fruits to supply your skin with collagen building vitamin C, you can also smear them onto your face for gentle acid exfoliation. Just puree a forth a cup of pineapple and smooth it onto your face. Leave it for 10-15 minutes, then rinse. Since the pineapple contains ascorbic acid, it will impart a brightening effect on the face, and help fade acne marks.
Apple And Honey-Using a blender, make a mixture out of 1 peeled apple with 1 tablespoon of yogurt, half a cucumber and 1 tablespoon of honey. Apply on face, leave for 20 minutes and wash off with warm water.
Olive Oil-Massage a pea-sized amount of olive oil onto your face.Acne scaring can cause the skin to lose its elasticity and suppleness.The moisturizing nutrients in the olive oil will penetrate the skin to deeply moisturize the skin and soften the skin’s texture.
Well,these are those 4 remedies that works best for your skin that impose no irritation to your skin.Good luck trying these at home and pick one that suits you.Hope this helps and great skin wishes.
