Recommendations for removing acne marks and scars:
1. Medication treatment: For newly formed acne marks, topical applications such as hydroquinone cream and arbutin cream can be used to promote fading of the marks. Additionally, oral intake of high-dose vitamin C and vitamin E can also help improve the condition.
2. Radiofrequency therapy: For severe cases, radiofrequency therapy stimulates collagen rearrangement through a photothermal reaction, improving pigmentation and acne scars and marks. Results are typically visible after approximately 3–5 treatment sessions.
3. For red or dark acne marks, treatments such as intense pulsed light (IPL), Q-switched laser, or pigment-specific lasers can be selected. These treatments work by breaking down pigment particles, promoting skin metabolism, and accelerating the fading of acne marks.
In addition, chemical peels, hyaluronic acid injections (mesotherapy), and PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy can also effectively improve skin condition and promote the recovery of acne marks and scars.
It is recommended to visit a reputable hospital and undergo treatments under the guidance of a qualified physician. Patients should also pay attention to sun protection in daily life to prevent darkening of acne marks, maintain good lifestyle habits, and promote healthy skin.
