What Is Acne & Acne Scars?

Quick Answer

Acne and acne scars need different approaches depending on whether the concern is active breakouts or scarring left behind. At Armoraa, treatment is chosen based on acne severity, scar type and depth, skin type, and your individual goals, combining medical management with in-clinic procedures where needed.

For active acne, procedural treatments may be used alongside medical management, depending on your needs. Options include medical-grade chemical peels, low-level light treatment (LLLT), long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser, and comedone extraction.

Scar treatment usually starts once active acne is adequately controlled. The right procedure depends on the type, depth, and characteristics of the scars and surrounding skin. Many patients have more than one type of acne scar, so combining treatments can offer a more complete approach than relying on one alone.

FAQ

What about acne scars?
Scar treatment is usually started once active acne is adequately controlled, and the procedure chosen depends on the type, depth, and characteristics of the scars.
Can acne and acne scars be treated at the same time?
Active acne is typically brought under control first before scar-focused treatments begin, since ongoing inflammation can affect scar treatment.
Why would I need more than one type of scar treatment?
Many patients have more than one type of acne scar, so combining procedures such as microneedling, lasers, or PRP may give better results than a single treatment.
