Scar-reducing ointments such as benzoyl peroxide, retinoic acid, or antibiotic creams can be applied. Generally, application for one to two months can achieve a certain therapeutic effect. For more severe acne scars, laser treatment may be considered. Laser therapy can stimulate the regeneration of collagen under the skin and help restore skin elasticity more quickly. Eating foods rich in vitamins C and E—such as nuts and vegetables—or taking moderate amounts of vitamin C tablets and vitamin E supplements may accelerate scar fading. Pay attention to skin cleansing and moisturizing, and use skincare products suitable for your skin type. You may also consider visiting a reputable cosmetic hospital for laser scar removal surgery, but proper post-operative care is essential. It is recommended to consult a doctor to choose the most appropriate method for achieving better skin appearance.
