I have some acne scars and post-acne hyperpigmentation (dark spots) on my face, which look very unattractive. Could you please tell me what methods are available for treating acne scars and fading post-acne marks?

For relatively shallow acne scars and post-acne hyperpigmentation (dark marks), topical gels may be used; consistent, long-term application is required for optimal results. For deeper acne scars and hyperpigmentation, where topical medications prove ineffective, fractional laser therapy is a viable option. It is essential to undergo laser treatment at a reputable, licensed medical facility and to strictly adhere to sun protection measures post-procedure.
