Frequently Asked Questions

  • Are acne scars permanent?

    While some acne scars can fade over time, others may be permanent without treatment. However, modern treatments such as lasers, microneedling, and fillers can significantly reduce the appearance of most types of acne scars, restoring smoother skin.

  • What is the best treatment for deep acne scars?

    Deep acne scars, like boxcar or ice-pick scars, often require more intensive treatments. Options such as Fraxel laser, dermal fillers, or a combination of laser and microneedling can be highly effective in reducing the depth and visibility of deep scars.

  • Can I treat acne scars while still having active acne?

    It's usually best to manage active acne before addressing scars. However, some treatments, like certain types of chemical peels or non-invasive lasers, can target both acne and acne scars simultaneously. Your dermatologist can advise on the best course of action based on your skin condition.

When to Treat Acne Scars

Deciding when to treat acne scars is crucial for effective results. The ideal time is usually once acne breakouts are well-controlled or have subsided. Treating scars while acne is still active can be challenging and may not yield optimal results, as ongoing breakouts can create new scars and impede the healing process of existing ones. Consulting with a dermatologist or skincare professional is the best way to determine the right timing and approach for treating acne scars, tailored to the individual’s skin type and condition.
