Hello J,
Thank you for your question. Good to hear that your acne is now under control. There are different types of acne scars and they can be treated in a few ways:
- Topical retinoids (differin/ retin A)
- Chemical peels (glycolic acid/ TCA/ Jessner)
- Fractional ablative laser resurfacing (CO2/ Erbium)
- Microneedling fractional radiofrequency device (Infini RF)
- Needle subcision
- PDRN microinjection (Rejuran Healer)
Treatments can be combined for better/ faster results.
The entire treatment process usually takes a few months as collagen remodelling and new collagen formation takes time.
Most people will have a combination of scars (boxcar + atropic + ice pick), and hence each treatment is customised based on your scar type.
Consult a doctor/ dermatologist to get a thorough examination of your acne scar marks first before deciding on your treatment plan. All the best!
Regards,
