    How to get rid of bacne scars?

    Got moderate bacne after my first cycle, even some on my shoulders. Taking accutane now and the acne is in check but I am left with some ugly scars. What are some good ways to get rid of these scars?

    I believe there is a laser pealing treatment that dermatologists can do.

    Not covered by insurance though.

    there is a specific type of microdermabrasion that significantly reduces/can sometimes eliminate scars, especially those caused by acne. I have a buddy who is a dermatologist and he was telling me about it the other day actually.

    OP - Out of curiosity what cycle did you run and at what doses? Are you naturally prone to Acne generally...or as a young adult etc?

    Acne seems to be pretty unpredictable. I haven't suffered at all thankfully but others are less fortunate.

    I got experience with this from my youth, i had bad acne on my back then.
    See a specialist cause it all depends on your skin type, my back will never get 100% smooth again cause i have a certain skin type.
    I first did Roacuttan (i think this is the same as accutane in the states) for 6 months to stop the breakouts.
    Then i got steroid shoots into each scar every 2. week for 6 months, this helped alot but like i said i will never get it perfect.

    This is my experience with it, i had bad luck on my skin type but see a specialist cause i know some people only can "grind" it away with plastic surgery.
