Recommendations for eliminating acne marks:
1. Daily skincare: Regulate your diet by maintaining light meals, avoiding spicy and greasy foods, and consuming more fruits and vegetables. Choose a suitable facial cleanser, wash your face morning and night to maintain facial cleanliness. Avoid direct sun exposure and use appropriate sunscreen.
2. Lifestyle habits: Exercise regularly to promote detoxification through sweat and improve blood circulation, which helps reduce acne marks. Maintain a regular sleep schedule and ensure adequate rest; avoid staying up late.
3. Local treatment: Anti-inflammatory medications can be used topically, such as antibiotic ointments or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory creams, in combination with moisturizers that help repair the skin barrier function. Applying vitamin E or vitamin C directly onto acne marks may also help fade them.
4. Professional treatment: Acne scars (pitted scars) are caused by damage to the dermis, resulting in depressed scars. To treat acne scars, medical aesthetic procedures such as microneedling, fractional laser therapy, subcision, or dermal fillers may be used to stimulate collagen regeneration and smooth out the indentations.
All treatments should be performed under the guidance of a qualified physician to avoid improper self-treatment that could worsen skin conditions.
