Hi Ive had this scarring after accutane for so many years now and I want to fade it or get rid of it. Its across my shoulders on both sides.

IPL lasers or other light therapies can help with such scarring. Cutera is a brand I know well and have seen good results from. But should consult a dermatologist to determine if this type of treatment is right for you.

Hey there!

I am a licensed esthetician, before getting laser I would recommend getting using a mandelic or lactic serum 5-8% on the area for everyday for a month and maybe looking into peels because laser can be very painful and expensive. also wearing sunscreen will prevent and reduce the hypopigment in your arms as long as it has zinc- make sure you use sunscreen if using mandelic or using peels

Hi there, which one would you recommend to try first, and can these be purchased over the counter or are they doctor prescribed?
