@doctorhumza: Rating skincare ingredients for acne scars: Niacinamide? ❌ Retinol? ❌ Azelaic acid? ❌ Hyaluronic acid? ❌ Glycolic acid? ❌ Not because they’re bad ingredients—but because they don’t treat true acne scars. If you have indented (atrophic) acne scars, no cream, serum, ointment, or over-the-counter product can rebuild the lost collagen and tissue that created the scar in the first place. So what actually works? ✅ CO₂ Fractional Laser One of the most effective treatments for acne scars. It resurfaces the skin and stimulates significant collagen remodeling, making scars appear shallower and smoother over time. ✅ Microneedling Creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger your body’s natural collagen production. Great for mild to moderate acne scarring with minimal downtime. ✅ Microneedling + Radiofrequency (RF) Takes microneedling a step further by delivering heat deeper into the skin, leading to stronger collagen stimulation and often better results for deeper scars. The best treatment depends on: • Scar type (ice-pick, boxcar, rolling) • Scar severity • Skin type • Downtime you’re willing to tolerate Remember: skincare can help with pigmentation and skin texture, but when it comes to actual acne scars, clinic procedures are where the real results happen. 📍Book a consultation to find out which treatment is right for your scars. #acnescars #skincare #dermatology #acne
