Overview
Acne scars are permanent marks left on the skin during the healing process of inflamed acne. These scars can appear as depressions, raised areas, or discoloration, and may affect a person’s appearance, leading to a loss of self-confidence. Acne scar treatment aims to reduce or completely eliminate the appearance of these scars. Treatment options vary depending on the type, depth, and individual’s skin type.
