A member asked:
It's been 1 year and i still have acne hyper pigmentation scars about 10% is left. will it disappear with time and treatment? glycolic acid peels?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Multiple options: There are many options available for acne scarring. Although Glycolic acid peels might help with hyperpigmentation, I like to use IPL treatments as a first line choice. These can be combined with peels, hydroquinone, and microneedling for further improvement.
