Can a depressed scar become level in three months?
In general, depressed scars cannot become flat within three months. Depressed scars are caused by the adhesion of fibrous tissue, scar tissue, and deep skin layers. To accelerate the flattening of depressed scars, treatments such as hyaluronic acid fillers, autologous fat grafting, collagen injections, microneedle therapy, and fractional laser therapy can be used to improve their appearance.
