Your question about whether acne scars will go away is very common and understandable. Here's what you should know:

  1. Natural fading: Acne scars often improve over time, especially with good skin care, but some scars may persist longer.

  2. Types of scars: Some scars are more likely to fade naturally, while others might need treatment.

  3. Treatment options: There are effective treatments available, such as topical creams, chemical peels, laser therapy, and microneedling, which can help reduce the appearance of scars.

  4. Consultation: It's best to see a dermatologist who can assess your skin and recommend the most suitable treatment based on your scar type and skin.

Remember, with proper care and treatment, many people see significant improvement in their acne scars. Don't hesitate to seek professional advice to explore your options.

I've been struggling with unwanted facial hair along with acne and scars and it's really affecting my confidence. I've heard laser hair removal might help but I'm not sure if it's safe for my skin or if it'll make the acne worse. Can you recommend a good clinic or explain how laser surgery works for these issues? Also, will it help with the scars or do I need separate treatment for that?

dermat opinion is advised.

I've been dealing with this birthmark on my left cheek and after six rounds of laser treatment, it hasn't really lightened. I'm wondering if there are other ways to lighten birthmarks? Are there any creams or meds you'd recommend?
