ok so i just got back from dermatology and had laserlite treatment

and they gave me clobetasol ointment 0.05 and clobax 0.05
and don’t know how to use them properly so help

Is there anything I can use at home to zap away the red scars, pigmentation left by old acne? I’ve tried creams such as mederma, retin-a, mama lotion, acne mark fading peels and home microdermabrasion kits but nothing’s really helped.
I know there are devices such as the zeno for acne. Are there any similar light-therapy device for scars that are a milder form of laser treatment, that I can use at home?
Thank you!

There is such a treatment that focuses on acne and acne scars right? Also, if you were to get it done- youre still prone to breaking out right? Can somebody give me any info on what they know? Thanks!

Laser therapy has become one of the most effective ways to fight against acne scars over the past decade. More and more people choose this option to get rid of acne scars. However the big issue that appears is the laser acne scar treatment cost. How much money is such a medical intervention and who can afford it? How much money is such a medical intervention and who can afford it? The cost entirely depends on how severe your acne scars are and on the part of the body that has suffered the greatest damage.

Another factor that influences the laser acne scar treatment cost is the clinic and the type of service they provide for such dermatological problems. Laser treatment is recommended according to the type of acne scars you’ve got, and it is only for a specialist to decide which kind of intervention best suits you. Some of the most widely treated acne scars are the Ice-pick type and the Boxcar type. The former makes the skin look as if it were punctured with an ice-pick. Unfortunately these are the most difficult and the most expensive to treat.

I have cystic acne, but not severe all over my face. I get a few I guess you could say ‘normal’ pimples but occasionally I get the large cystic acne that stays around for months. My dermatologist has put me on Solodyn and a gel retinoid. She has had me on Solodyn for a month and told me to come back in a month. I have my appointment very soon and the medication has not helped at all. If it hadn’t worked she said a surgical procedure to cut and drain it would be required. The thing is that this cyst is on my cheek and I do not want a scar on my cheek. Would laser treatment work?

Has anyone gotten this type of laser treatment for their acne or acne scars? I’m nervous about it but hate my scars and even though I’ve been using retin-a, I still break out. I’m just nervous about side effects from the laser, such as swelling or not even noticing a difference. Any advice?
Thank you!

I currently have very smooth, spot-free skin, but left over scars from previous spots. It is really depressing. Looking at websites, they are definitely not the worst scars in the world – very small, about 5 on each cheek, but dark red / purple.
I have tried all sorts of creams from the doctor, and have tried herbal treatments and everything.
Any advice on other treatments or where to go for laser treatment? Also how much?
