What should I do about severe acne scarring on my face?
Extensive facial acne scars (atrophic scars) can be effectively managed through a combination of approaches, including daily skin repair, physical exfoliation and skin conditioning, topical reparative medications, laser cosmetic treatments, and subcutaneous fillers. Acne scars result from inflammatory acne damaging the dermis, leading to depressed skin lesions. Multiple treatment modalities work by stimulating new collagen production to gradually smooth out these depressions. If you experience symptoms such as redness, swelling, infection, or persistent pain in facial lesions, seek prompt medical evaluation and treatment at a hospital.
