If you and your dermatologist believe that treatment is right for you, your dermatologist will create a treatment plan tailored to your needs. In creating this plan, your dermatologist will consider many things, including scar types and where the scars appear on your body. If you have taken  to treat acne, be sure to tell your dermatologist before treatment for acne scars begins.

To obtain the best results, your dermatologist may recommend more than one treatment. For example, if you have a deep boxcar scar (often looks like a large pore), laser therapy and many type of  surgery called “subcision” may be necessary to give you the results you want.

Your dermatologist relies on in-depth medical knowledge to determine which treatments are best for you.
