Disease description:

I previously consumed too much chili, which caused numerous acne breakouts and left me with acne scars (pits). I’d like to ask: What is the most effective method for treating acne scars?

Hello, Acne scars—commonly referred to as “acne pits”—are primarily atrophic scars that develop following acne or folliculitis. They typically appear as depressions in the skin and are usually asymptomatic (neither painful nor itchy). The base of the scar may appear red or brownish. For repair, fractional carbon dioxide (CO₂) laser treatment is an effective option. This laser precisely targets fibroblasts at the base of the acne pits, stimulating their proliferation and promoting gradual restoration of the depressed skin surface. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
