Acne scars: understand and soften, in Geneva
The acne is gone, but it left marks: hollows, raised scars, sometimes coloured spots. Before talking treatment, the real question is which type of scar you are dealing with.
Not all scars are alike
A brown or red mark left after a spot is not the same as a hollow or raised scar. The first come from pigmentation and often fade with time; the second affect the skin's texture.
This distinction is decisive: you do not treat a mark like a hollow. That is why a skin assessment comes before considering anything.
Working on texture, in stages
For hollow scars and texture, approaches such as microneedling or certain peels may be discussed, over several sessions. For coloured marks, the answer and sun protection differ.
Results are gradual and never guaranteed. Skin still prone to active acne needs the acne itself addressed first. We point you to a partner clinic for an assessment.
Your questions
Can scars be removed completely?
We speak of softening, not guaranteed removal. Results are gradual and vary by scar type.
How many sessions?
These approaches take several sessions. The skin assessment estimates a realistic plan for your case.
Should I wait until the acne is gone?
Active acne is addressed first, on its own. Treating scars comes afterwards, on advice.
Does the sun matter?
Yes, especially for coloured marks: sun protection is part of the care.
