Acne Scars

I have terrible acne scars and have been recommended radiofrequency ablation. Will it work?

Acne scars are difficult to treat and no matter what treatment you select, you will end up being disappointed. All radiofrequency ablation is a heat like device similar to a laser. The people who offer this therapy make big claims about their success rates with acne scars, but they are full of shit. Radiofrequency ablation heats the tissue underneath the skin and may reduce the scar, but it is rarely curative. It also does not work for deep scars and scars that have been present for a long time. Radiofrequency ablation is also not cheap. Each session may cost anywhere from $400-$1,000 and you will have to undergo many sessions (the doctor will give you some BS story why you need many sessions). My advice is read about the technique online and read what others are saying. Do not be rushed into the treatment as acne scars are not life threatening. Do not go to any healthcare professional as many of these people do not know the mouth from the backside. If you have the money, try a few sessions and see what happens. If you do not have the money, take some Prozac. It may not cure the scar but will reduce the anxiety.
