DO ACNE SCARS GO AWAY?
Acne scars, especially pitting ‘ice-pick’ scars tend to be permanent. The good news is that there are a variety of treatments depending on the size of the scars.
Resurfacing peels / microdermabrasion are very superficial in nature and consequently will only slightly improve deep, pitted scars. A good resurfacing tool is dermabrasion, but this technique typically requires sedation / anesthesia.
A good place to start is with injectable fillers such a Juvederm, Restylane, or Perlane. A visit with a Dermatologist or Facial Plastic Surgeon should provide more information about which option best suits your needs.
