Acne treatment involves a multifaceted approach aimed at reducing breakouts, minimizing inflammation, and preventing scarring. It often begins with topical treatments like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to unclog pores and reduce bacteria. For more severe cases, oral medications such as antibiotics or isotretinoin may be prescribed to control acne over the long term. Additionally, lifestyle adjustments like a balanced diet, proper skincare regimen, and stress management can complement medical treatments in managing acne effectively. Dermatologists tailor treatment plans based on the type and severity of acne to achieve clearer and healthier skin.

Acne scar treatment aims to improve the appearance of scars left behind by acne breakouts. Several treatment options are available depending on the type and severity of scars.

For mild scars, topical treatments like retinoids or silicone gels can help promote skin cell turnover and reduce scar visibility. Chemical peels and microdermabrasion are effective for shallow scars by removing the top layer of skin, stimulating collagen production, and smoothing out skin texture.

For deeper scars, procedures such as microneedling, laser resurfacing (like fractional laser or CO2 laser), or dermal fillers can be used to remodel the skin's surface, stimulate collagen production
