Scars are permanent: Scars are made of almost pure collagen - the same stuff as tendons and ligaments. Once you have a scar, the scar will never go away. Having said that, there are many ways to make the scars look better. For acne scars, four techniques work best: 1. Dermabrasion; 2. Co2 laser resurfacing: 3. Chemical peels, and 4. Excision, for individual deep “ice pick” scars. You should consult a plastic surgeon.
