Treatment options will vary depending on the individual and their needs.
Acne scar treatment is aimed at improving and softening the appearance of the scarring, and may include:
- Fillers
- Intralesional corticosteroids
- Laser treatments, such as fractional non-ablative (non-wounding) lasers and ablative (wounding) lasers
- Radiofrequency
- TCA CROSS (Chemical reconstruction of skin scars)
- Surgical treatment, such as punch excision, punch elevation and subcision
- Vascular lasers, such as pulse dye lasers, potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) and alexandrite laser
- Skin needling
- Dermabrasion
Often a combination of treatments may be required.
