Ive had acne scarring on my forehead, temples and left cheek since I was a teenager, so around 20 years now. Im at the point where I can afford treatment (within reason) but Id like some thoughts on what to expect, including results, before I schedule a consult.

I do have a dermatologist that I see for my annual skin check and such but he referred me to their surgical dermatologists (obviously).

Thank you!

As an update, I had a consult with the cosmetic team at the practice where I have my general derm checkups. They recommended two treatments with the CO2 fractional laser, with 30% improvement after each session. Thoughts?

I scheduled a second opinion at a different practice for next week.

Definitely good that you're getting a second opinion. Maybe get a third too.

From what I can see, I wonder if something like:

  • TCA CROSS
  • Subcision with suction

And then maybe some fractional laser might be interesting.

But yeah, learn as much as you can, talk to a few specialists, and only move forward when you feel you are on the right path and in good hands.
