Acne scar treatment is best started only after the acne has been brought under control, with no new outbreaks.
Many laser treatments and minor skin procedures are available for sunken or raised scars, depending on the subtype. These include:
Sublative or fractional laser surfacing are the preferred option for most, due to good outcomes, low risk, and minimal or no downtime. A combination approach is useful as there are often different types of scars in an individual.
