- People experience different types of scarring from acne, and every person is left with different facial topography. Therefore, acne scar treatment must be addressed on a case by case basis. No single treatment is right for everyone. You and your dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon will have to decide what is right for your type of acne scarring.
- Since getting rid of acne scars is a complex process, often several of the treatments listed above will have to be combined to produce the best results. For example, puch technique followed by laser acne treatment is common. Ice pick acne scars might require underimining the acne scars (subcision) followed by injections (augmentation). It is not uncommon to see more than two procedures combined as well.
- Basic research into how acne scars are formed and how they respond to treatment is very limited. It has not been a well treated condition in the past. However, new treatments are helping.
- Make sure you see before and after pictures of your doctor's previous patients, and be realistic about results.
- Picking at your acne can cause as much scarring as the acne itself. Do whatever you have to do to stop picking!
