Begin with the right assessment
Acne scars can differ in shape and texture. The American Academy of Dermatology explains that treatment plans depend on the type of scars and individual factors such as skin tone and treatment history.
Active acne comes first
If you still have breakouts, a dermatologist can help manage the acne before scar treatment. Controlling acne helps prevent new scars. Tell your treating clinician about current and recent acne medications.
Ask about scope before booking
This article is general education, not confirmation that Skin & Tonic provides every acne scar treatment. Ask us whether your concerns fit our scope; medical dermatology care may be the appropriate next step.
