How Long Does It Take Acne Scars to Fade?
Acne scars usually do not improve without treatment. At-home topical treatments may benefit mild textural concerns. However, those with significant scarring will need more intensive methods. Pigmentation issues may gradually fade over several months to years. They may never go away entirely unless treated. Scars typically last a lifetime, and they can become more noticeable as the skin changes with age.
How are Acne Scars Treated?
Since each person has different acne scars, we will work with you to develop a customized treatment plan. For many people, treatment includes the Opus™ Plasma skin resurfacing system. This combination of radiofrequency and microneedling works to break up scar tissue and bring healthy skin cells to the surface. It also triggers collagen production, smoothing uneven skin texture and making scars less noticeable.
