What is the difference between acne scars and acne marks?
Acne marks are changes in skin color that remain after a breakout heals. Acne scars involve changes in skin texture and structure — marks are pigment-related, while scars result from damage to the skin's deeper layers.
Can acne scars be completely removed?
While complete removal may not always be possible, many acne scars can be significantly improved with professional treatments that stimulate collagen production and skin remodeling.
How many treatments will I need, and is there downtime?
The number of treatments varies based on the type and severity of scars, skin type, and goals. Most patients experience minimal downtime — temporary redness, mild swelling, or sensitivity may occur but typically resolves within a few days.
When will I see results?
Many patients notice gradual improvement as collagen remodeling occurs over the weeks and months following treatment, with continued improvement as the skin naturally renews.
