I have acne scars on my face and want to remove them. Can anything remove acne scars?
Agnes scars cannot be removed. They can be improved.
Yes, there are several skin resurfacing options to help reduce or eliminate acne scars. One option I will describe is micro needling, which has been specifically FDA-approved to treat acne scars. For example, our practice carries a device called SkinPen, which is a microneedling instrument that rapidly injects tiny needles into the skin, which causes a controlled injury that then heals rapidly with a brand-new skin. Generally, like many skin resurfacing treatments, microneedling requires several sessions separated by 4-6 weeks, so that the entire surface area of the skin can be addressed thoroughly.
