COMMON QUESTIONS
Will acne scars ever fade completely?
Flat discoloration often fades over time. Pitted or raised scars usually need active treatment.
Can I treat acne scars at home?
Yes, many scar types improve with consistent at-home treatment and daily sun protection.
What is the difference between a scar and a dark mark?
A dark mark is pigment that fades on its own. A true scar is a change in skin texture.
Does sun make acne scars worse?
Yes, UV darkens scars and discoloration, so daily sun protection matters.
