I'm 24 and have dealt with acne scarring ever since I had really bad acne in high school and went through accutane (late 2007). I got fraxel laser treatments twice - I think the first treatment was around 2011 and they did about 3 treatments, and then I just finished the second round (went 4 times) in 2016. I am still having scars which I can easily see in indirect light. I think the second round in 2016 helped out a little bit to make my face smoother and round out the edges on my scars, but these scars are still very visible in my mind. I'm not going through any psychological issues where I dont want to be in public, its just I kind of want these all to go away and move on with my life. I'm still doing fine socially as well as with girls, but I feel like they can still definitely notice them. As you can see I can make the indirect light to show these scars, but in other lighting it doesnt look like I have any scars at all! I really just want to know what types of scars I have and what you guys think I should do about it. I'm open to anything, and id be willing to spend up to 5K if need be for any procedures. Do people think I shouldn't use lasers again? As to the scars - I think left cheek is worse because of the two scars at the top of my check which are the deepest scars that I have. I feel like the right cheek doesnt have as deep of scars. Also, on the bottom left side of my chin I have this very deep crater which is unlike any other scar on my face. It sorta just gapes deep into my skin. I Â think you can see it best in my very last picture. **let me know if you need me to post any more pics with better lighting to make a better read on what I have/should do, this was my first time taking pictures like this Pictures (I took two of each cheek): Right cheek: Left cheek:
