  • Note: Most people have multiple types of acne scars
  • Note: Picking at acne lesions can cause more scarring
    than the acne itself. Avoid picking at all costs.

Before undergoing scar treatment:

  1. Be free of active acne
    Skin must be free of active acne. If you have active acne, read here for a strict pre-procedure regimen that must be followed for at least three months prior to scar revision.
  2. Educate yourself
    Arm yourself with information from this page before meeting with your chosen doctor.
  3. Find the right doctor
    Find a doctor you trust.
