Acne scars: why the scar type matters
A scar assessment is more useful than choosing a laser by name.
Scars and marks are different
Flat discoloration after acne is different from a depressed or raised scar. A consultation identifies what is present and whether active breakouts also need care.
One face may need more than one approach
Scar depth, shape and skin tone influence the treatment plan. Some scars may suit resurfacing; others may need release of tethering or another procedure. Improvement is a more realistic goal than erasing every scar.
