The treatment of facial acne scars needs to be customized according to the type and severity of the scars. If physical discomfort occurs, it is recommended to seek medical attention at a hospital promptly and follow the doctor's instructions for management.
For superficial scars, treatments such as microneedling, chemical peels, or laser therapy can be used to promote skin regeneration and improve the appearance of scars. Medication therapy is a common and effective approach. Drugs such as mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream and asiaticoside cream can help soften scar tissue and inhibit scar proliferation.
In addition, retinoic acid cream and recombinant human epidermal growth factor gel also demonstrate good therapeutic effects. For deeper scars, such as ice-pick or boxcar scars, more invasive treatments such as dermabrasion, microdermabrasion, or fractional laser therapy may be required. Filler injections are also an effective method for improving depressed scars.
Treating acne scars is a long-term process that requires patients to follow the treatment plan established by their physician and maintain healthy lifestyle habits and proper skincare to achieve optimal results.
