Pre-Treatment Questions for Acne Scar Treatment

Acne scars are a serious and difficult problem for any physician to treat. When considering acne scar removal, physician experience is very important. Having access to multiple treatment options is helpful as there are different types of scarring and skin types, and one treatment may not be appropriate for everyone. So I would ask 'what treatment options are available to me?' Also, 'are there alternative treatments which may be as or more effective than the one you propose?'

Several other questions I would ask are:

Are you going to be able to advise me on what topical regiment I should use?
Do you need to prescribe any antibiotics or other prescriptions for my active acne?
What kind of laser are you going to use?
How much experience do you have with treating acne scars?
