    Indentations and depressions left over by acne
    I have few indentations and depressions left over by acne. Is there any way to heal and even the surface.

    Dermabrasion by a plastic surgeon or laser trreatment are the only two ways to eliminate that problem.

    Dernabrasion isn't painful but lengthy as the doctor will only take off so much derma at a time. Your face will be tender for a while but given moisturizers to protect.

    Laser isn't painful either. May be a tad quicker then dermbrasion.

    Laser surgery is by consultation and as far as I know don't charge for this.

    I can't diagnose your condition, the best way to find out which one is best suited, is visit each in turn and determine yourself.
