Active acne is improved step-by-step through soothing, extraction, and medication, while scars are improved through laser and regenerative treatments.
Acne treatment is divided into two stages: calming current breakouts and improving scars and pigmentation remaining after they have subsided. It combines sebum and inflammation control (extraction, medication, PDT, etc.) with scar regeneration (Fraxel, regenerative injections, etc.).
During the active phase, inflammation and sebum are reduced (through scaling, extraction, medication, and photodynamic therapy), and during the scarring phase, pitted scars and pigmentation are improved using Fraxel, subcision, and regenerative injections.
Avoid self-extraction as it can worsen scarring, and it is effective to start scar treatment after active acne has sufficiently subsided.
Self-extraction should be avoided as it can worsen inflammation and scarring; it is safer to receive hygienic extraction and treatment at a hospital.
It is effective to start scar treatment (such as Fraxel) after active acne has sufficiently subsided.
