General & Family Physician,  's  Response
never use DETTOL/ SAVLON TO YOUR FACE or any other body part especially private area. It can lead to redness, burning sensation and can actually burn the pimple area leading to IRRITANT CONTACT DERMATITIS.

Most treatments can reduce the size and visibility of acne scars. With time, many of the treated acne scars fade, making them barely noticeable.

Your results depend almost entirely on the knowledge and skill of the person performing the treatment.

Dermatologists and dermatologic surgeons perform these procedures frequently, so they have the skills and experience needed to perform these procedures safely and effectively.
