Acne affects people of all ages, and for many of our patients at Dermatology Associates of Atlanta, it feels like a constant battle because they spend years being vigilant with their skin care routines and other preventative measures. But even after the acne is gone, patients are often left with scars that are just as frustrating to them as the acne itself. Fortunately, there are plenty of acne scar treatments available, although these treatments will depend on the shape, size, location, and number of scars you have. To bring you up to speed, we’ve created a helpful infographic about the different types of acne scars and how each type can be treated.

Even if you only struggled with acne for a few years, the scars can persist for a lifetime, and while some fade over the years, others become worse with age. If you’re dealing with acne scars, there are most likely ways you can reduce your scarring and get back your confidence in your appearance. To find out your options, schedule an appointment for an acne scar consultation.
