How do you maintain your acne scars after treatment is finished?

I tend to be more curious about how it will turn out after I finish something when I start it, haha. I'm wondering if it's okay to just do home care after consistently receiving acne scar treatment for a few months and reaching a satisfactory skin condition.
I don't think the part of the scar that has improved will suddenly get deeper again, but if new acne appears and you touch it with your hands, new marks can form.
So, during acne scar treatment, I think it is important not only to improve the existing scars but also to manage them to reduce the formation of new ones.
I used to have a severe habit of constantly touching and squeezing my blemishes whenever they popped up, and looking back now, I regret it because I think that left even more scars.
When I start acne scar treatment this time, I really intend to fix at least those habits first.
I am curious if there are people who continue to receive regular care after the treatment is finished to some extent, or if they just maintain it by getting consultations occasionally when their skin becomes a concern again.
Rather than having to keep visiting the hospital, I want to manage my skin intensively in the beginning and then stick to basic home care like cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection afterwards.
For those of you who have received long-term acne scar treatment, how did you change your cosmetics or lifestyle habits after the treatment was finished?
I am wondering if it is important to manage new breakouts as quickly as possible without touching them like before.
Please share your experiences regarding whether you are maintaining a satisfactory condition even after a few months or over a year, and whether there are any habits you have made sure to follow after treatment. I think I would feel much more at ease knowing the process from the beginning, including the maintenance phase, before starting.
