Hi

Studies show that lasers and other light treatments can reduce acne. Rarely can these treatments alone clear acne. To give you the best results, your dermatologist may recommend using another acne treatment, such as medicine that you apply to your skin.

Inshort for acne treatment, oral and also topical medications are to be taken.For acne scar reduction,laser is useful but it may require multiple sessions and long duration to see visible results.

Also healthy diet,adequate hydration and ample sleep is required to provide consistent results.

Hope that was helpful.Let me know if i can assist you further.

Regards
