In general, acne marks typically fade within approximately 3 to 6 months. However, the exact time required for complete resolution depends on factors such as the depth and size of the marks, as well as individual constitution. Deeper acne marks may result in permanent scarring. For localized acne marks, topical vitamin-based creams may be applied. Persistent acne marks that fail to resolve over time can be treated with laser surgery.
