It seems that acne scar treatment is recommended for people concerned about pitting rather than marks.

I originally thought my main concern was acne marks, but after getting a consultation, I was told that simple pigmentation marks and pitted scars need to be viewed differently.

So, it seemed that the criteria for recommending acne scar treatments were more clearly divided than I had expected. I heard that while red or brown marks may fade over time or can be managed with other methods, the sunken marks on the cheeks are difficult to disappear naturally.

I am exactly that type, so I started looking into acne scar treatments. It was easy to understand if I thought of acne scar treatment not as completely changing the skin surface all at once, but as gradually improving the texture to make the scars look less prominent.

I think people like me, whose cheek hollows remain visible even with makeup, are likely the right candidates for acne scar treatment. However, if you are still experiencing severe breakouts, I felt it was better to address the inflammation first rather than starting with the scar treatment.

After getting a consultation, I realized the order is important for a reason. I hope you find this helpful!
