Different scars need different strategies
Rolling, boxcar, ice-pick and pigment-related changes can behave differently. Microneedling and laser resurfacing are common options for selected textural scars, but they are not interchangeable.
Expect gradual change
Collagen remodeling takes time. A series of treatments may be considered, and improvement is usually incremental rather than an overnight transformation.
Active acne comes first
Continuing breakouts can create new scars. If acne is still active, the plan should address the acne as well as the marks it has left behind.
