As the title says: How bad do you think my acne scars in my forehead is? I tried to take a photo in some of the worst lightning spots.

 

It wouldn't look so bad without those wrinkles. Get some botox and you should be feeling much better.

I see. But botox isn't permanent.. can a laser make it permanent?

I had one wide mild boxcar on my forehead that was improved by fractional CO2 laser. If you can find a laser specialist who understands deeper settings (to the point where you get blood - this worked for me), it might be worth considering.Forget Erbium and non-ablative lasers.

You seem to have missed the point. Botox works on reducing the wrinkles, not eliminating scars.

From all the evidence shown so far, laser hasn't been too effective in this region. Also consideringthat there's only 0.5 mm of skin on the forehead, how much collagen do you realistically think our body can make to fill the scar pit?

On the contrary, we know for certain that Botox is very effective in reducing wrinkles on the forehead. It will also lessen any tensions made by the muscles. By minimizing both wrinkles and tensions, your acne scars will look less pronounced.

Hope that helps.

Botox with a combination of filler will work wonders. I have done both. Although not permanent it will give instant results.

I see, I will try that after my laser procedure. But isn't it very expensive?

Yes it is expensive. if it was affordable everyone would be able get all their scars fixed to their liking. I usually come here to lurk out info and see what people have to say about personal experiences but to findout more about pricing and see morepictures, I look at the website RealSelf.

I do the same however I find RealSelf to be outdated sometimes and the users to be particularly disgruntled when they dont get the results they had hoped for, which is fine, but I prefer more logical and precise logging of acne scar journeys that leave as little subjectivity as possible (although one could argue this is almost impossible).
