Shopaholic? Me?

I have some nasty marks on my face from spots from er my teenage days. I would love to be able to treat them, but acne scar removal is a tad more complex. There are creams which can be used. Vitamin E is also recommended for scarring. However, I was told to go for a  peel. Apparently this is laser treatment and I would need about 3 or 4 sessions. It basically burns off a layer of flesh and you cannot go out for 3 or 4 days as you look horrific. Sounds a bit too gory for my liking, I guess I doubt I will be doing much for now!
