My acne has subsided, but do I need to get treatment for the red marks as well?

The acne I had in the past has mostly subsided, but I'm worried because red marks remain in their place. It seems like the breakouts of new acne have decreased, but since the marks aren't disappearing easily, my skin still looks messy. I thought it would naturally fade over time, but it's lasting longer than I expected.

I am wondering if these marks can be managed along with acne treatment. Is the treatment method different for red marks and marks that have turned brown? If I still get occasional breakouts, I would also like to know if it is better to treat the current acne first rather than focusing on managing the marks.

What is the typical order for managing acne marks while undergoing treatment? I am also curious if the timing of the procedure varies depending on skin condition. I would appreciate it if you could let me know what precautions I should take in daily to prevent marks from becoming darker, as well as other things I should pay attention to besides sun protection.
