Acne scars: which treatment suits your skin?

Not all acne marks are the same, and choosing a treatment starts with knowing which kind you have.

Written by Dr. Nahed Kassem 3 min read

Acne leaves two main kinds of marks: colour marks after inflammation, and scars in the skin’s texture. Each needs a different treatment.

Colour marks

Usually improve with pigment treatment and sun protection.

Scars

Need collagen-stimulating treatments that rebuild the skin, often over several sessions.

Most important: control active acne first, so new marks don’t form.
