Getting Rid of Acne Scars Safely

My acne was terrible in high school – deep, and textured, and unresponsive to any treatment I used, even when my parents scraped together some funds to take me to the doctor.  Now, I am better off than I was then, but no one can tell me how to get rid of acne scars without complex and outrageously expensive, repeated procedures.

One of the most common methods of how to get rid of acne scars is through laser resurfacing, which sounds kind of cool and high tech, but also scary, and expensive as all hell.  I mean, I am not made of money here.  I’d like to know how to get rid of acne scars without spending 3000 dollars each visit, possibly for several visits in a row, but there just seems to be no way.  I do not want to do the laser surfacing, but everything that I’ve read about how to get rid of acne scars says that many of the other methods are even more complicated and expensive.

Some people say that chemical peels are how to get rid of acne scars, and these look like simple and inexpensive treatments. I bought one the other day, and it seemed to improve my skin generally, but it wasn’t really how to get rid of acne scars.  They are still there, deep pits in my otherwise beautiful face, although I think that they now look a little shallower.  Really, though, the idea of peeling my skin off multiple times sounds quite dangerous and unappealing.  Even if it is how to get rid of acne scars, I don’t know if I want any part of it.
