Prevent new lesions: It is important to treat your acne to prevent ongoing scar formation. Once the acne is under control, the treatment of acne scars depends on the type and age of the scar. Red marks from recent lesions will fade over a year. Deeper scars may require some form of treatment from a dermatologist, which could include chemical peels or surgical correction.

Treat acne first: Active acne must be taken care of first. Once that is done, then scarring can be addressed with a variety of treatment options depending on your skin type, the depth of scar, presence of other skin problems etc. Your facial plastic surgeon or dermatologist may recommend peels, lasers, scar revisions, dermabrasion or other techniques. Good luck!
