Collagen injections are not a permanent solution. They only last
about 6 months to a year. The appropriate treatment depends on the
type of scars you have. If they are small pits, a doctor can do a
punch graft on them. He or she takes a small tool and punches out the
scar, replacing it with a small graft from behind your ear. If the
pits are very small, they can simply be punched out and stiched closed
without any graft. For larger depressed scars, there are other
techniques to try to raise them. Laser resurfacing works for some
people, but others have reported only slight improvement - it really
depends on how deep the scars are. Go to abms.org to find a
board-certified dermatologist in your area. Then call these doctor's
offices and try to find someone that specializes in acne "scar
revision." The doc can explain all the options and costs to you. You
might want to consult with a couple of doctors to compare prices, or
have the doctor treat only one scar at first to see how it comes out
before having all of them done.

There is a new laser called the SmoothBeam. I have had 5 treatments with
this laser and it has helped my scars. It is a non invasive procedure. It
is actually classified as a non ablative laser as it does not remove any
skin. It penetrates the skin and stimulates collagen production deep
beneath the skin. If you have just a few minor scars this will really help
you.

Check out http://www.candelalaser.com/smoothbeam2/sb_home.htm
Also check out http://acne.org/messageboard/
and look under Scar Treatments. There is a lot of good information from
people with first hand experience with scar treatments.

I think it would depend on what area of the country you live in. I have
found it to be about $350 a treatment.

I have been using Raztore facial cream and Raztore Tablets for several months
and my acne scars have been reduced by at least 60%. This product forms
collagen in a natural way and has medical studies to prove it.

It is exclusive and patented and only available from independent distributors
so I became one after using it and seeing these results.

I am delighted to find an established skin care company that understands the fundamentals of skin aging and how to treat it. FARMEC (aslaskin,, their US distributor) is a Romanian cosmetics company and has been around for 60 years. This is the original formula and the quality is great!!
