How do I find a qualified cosmetic surgeon to remove my acne scars?

I have severe acne scarring and am looking into having laser resurfacing done on my skin. I have tried looking on the internet to find info about Sacramento County doctors and have been unsuccessful. The amount of information out there is overwhelming and I%26#039;m not sure how to filter through it. I am looking for recommendations, ideas, suggestions, opinions, anything that will help. I am on a budget, a tight one, and although I know this might sound tacky, I am looking for someone who is willing to take payments and work with me.|||If you have the deep, pitted scarring, then I%26#039;m sorry to say that lasers will do nothing for you. Those scars are %26quot;punched%26quot; out and refilled with skin grafts. Lasers are best for red scarring or raised scars.|||HOney sounds like you are in a severe crisis to me my best advice to you is not going to a dermatologist they only want your money and well tell you the best way is laser treatment when in actuality it might be the worst thing for your already sensitive skin i would suggest using proactive i have heard great things about them or i dont know how old you are but if you are young you might have this problem for a while u just have to let it run its course for most it goes away if not. try a fading cream that is over the counter but it on before and after bed it did wonders for me let the dermatologist be your last resort and i promise nothing from a dermatologist is going to coincide with a tight budget|||I%26#039;ve wondered the same thing. Look for board certified dermatologists maybe. The ask to see samples of their work removing acne scars. I%26#039;ve also thought of getting the names of some of the cosmetic surgeons on TV and calling their offices for references / suggestions. I wonder if your doctor may have suggestions. The best of luck to you.
