The Patient's Guide
to Acne Scars

The most respected online publication providing information about acne scarring, treatments, and prevention. Our mission is to provide you, our reader, with unbiased, scientifically accurate information about acne scarring of the face, as well as potential treatments. The articles published on Patient's Guide websites are written and provided by some of America's foremost dermatologists and laser surgery experts. Information provided by individuals on this site should be considered opinion and cannot replace the advice of and consultation with a physician, but can be educational and help inform you.

Importance of Physician Treatment and Experience

The goal of the Patient's Guide is to provide quality information about cosmetic treatments, as well as a list of qualified physicians near you. There are an abundance of treatments marketed today, both for in-home use as well as in spa and clinics, which claim to be highly effective at getting rid of acne scars on the face. The best option if you are seeking a remedy for your acne scars is to consult with a physician who has the experience and technology available to tailor the best treatment for you. These professionals are the most likely to give you the range of options available to you and help you form a regimen which will give you results you can be satisfied with. To find a board-certified physician offering treatment, you may use our Find a Doctor locator service.

Acne Scarring and Treatment

For generations acne scars were a painful reminder of our skin's difficult history, a history of red pimples and other acne that could not be erased. This finally began to change, first with the use of dermabrasion and today lasers. With the development of many new technologies we are finally beginning to see the smoother, less scarred skin of our prepubescent days. From the advent of non-ablative lasers to rebuild and rejuvenate skin, to surgical techniques, which can remove the scarred skin, there is hope for patients. This site is designed to help educate people and improve their understanding of what is available for them.
