Acne scar options

Depending on the look of the skin, providers may discuss microneedling, peels, energy devices, or other options. GPU.Skin lists these as discussion points, not a treatment plan. We do not diagnose scarring type.

Suitability

Active, painful, or infected breakouts usually need medical review first. Scar procedures are elective and provider-specific.

Discussion points for a provider

• Whether they think you are describing texture, colour, or both
• What they would not do while skin is inflamed
• Realistic photography and consent
• Cost per session and what ‘a course’ means in pounds, not promises
• When a dermatologist is the more appropriate first step
