Acne Scarring

Common Questions for Acne Scarring (FAQs)

Acne scarring occurs when severe acne damages the skin, leaving permanent marks, indentations, or discoloration.

Acne scars form due to deep skin inflammation, improper healing, or picking at pimples, which damages the tissue.

Avoid picking pimples, treat acne early, use sunscreen, and follow a proper skincare routine to reduce scarring.

Treatments include laser therapy, chemical peels, microneedling, dermal fillers, and topical retinoids.

If acne scars affect your confidence or don’t fade with home treatments, consult a dermatologist for advanced solutions.
