How are acne and acne scars treated in dermatology?

My face keeps breaking out and the old acne scars are still there, so I looked into what dermatologists do. Seems like it’s not just creams or pills they also do stuff like lasers, peels and tiny needling things. I’m trying to get what actually helps stop breakouts and makes the skin look smoother.

Honestly, my skin was a mess with breakouts and old scars. The derm didn’t just hand me creams, she did microneedling for my scars and suggested a few chemical peels. I also started keeping my routine super simple and drinking more water. Took a couple months, but my skin actually started to look smoother. Hope it helps!

Man, acne is like the gift that keeps on giving. Usually, dermatologists hit it with creams or pills if it’s being extra stubborn. For the scars, stuff like lasers, chemical peels or microneedling can smooth things out a bit. Honestly, what works depends on your skin type and the kind of scars you got so a derm’s advice is golden.

At a clinic like Pureun Clinic, acne and acne scars are treated through a personalized combination of medical and procedural approaches based on skin type and severity. Active acne is typically addressed first using prescription topicals, oral medications when necessary, and skin treatments such as chemical peels or light-based therapies to reduce inflammation. Once breakouts are under control, the focus shifts to scarring, where procedures like fractional laser resurfacing, microneedling, or subcision may be recommended to improve skin texture and stimulate collagen remodeling, with gradual visible improvement achieved over multiple sessions.

Acne treatments vary, but mine included creams and oral meds. Scars needed procedures like peels and lasers. It took patience, but it worked.

Treatment for acne often starts with topical creams or oral medications, and for stubborn cases, dermatologists may use peels or lasers. Acne scars can be treated with lasers, microneedling, or dermal fillers. In my case, a mix of topical treatment and a couple of laser sessions improved my scars noticeably, and it looks quite natural now.
