Acne and its subsequent scarring can significantly impact one's self-esteem. Effective treatment strategies focus on both preventing new breakouts and minimizing existing scars.

Preventing New Breakouts:

• Topical Treatments: Over-the-counter products containing benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or retinoids can help reduce acne lesions.

• Oral Medications: In more severe cases, dermatologists may prescribe antibiotics or hormonal therapies to control acne.

Treating Existing Scars:

• Chemical Peels: Application of chemical solutions to exfoliate the skin, promoting the regeneration of new skin cells and improving the appearance of scars.

• Microneedling: Utilizing tiny needles to stimulate collagen production, which can help in reducing the depth of scars.

• Laser Therapy: Employing laser treatments to resurface the skin and diminish scar visibility.

• Subcision: A minor surgical procedure where a needle is inserted under the skin to break up scar tissue, leading to smoother skin.
