Acne Scarring

Acne scarring results when acne is poorly controlled, inflammation is prolonged and/or there is unnecessary trauma such as picking. It is therefore important to follow the protocols for controlling and treating acne. Some treatments for scarring require complete eradication of active acne first. Some Acne treatments reduce the skin’s ability to heal for up to 2 years, therefore, it is important that you tell your doctor or nurse if you have been taking or if you are still taking any Acne medication.
