Acne scars

Acne scars are a relatively common consequence of acne, and it is assumed that up to 20% of people with acne will have larger or smaller scars. These scars often occur on the face, and for many, it can be experienced as very embarrassing and bothersome. In some cases, the acne scars will disappear on their own over time, and then all that is needed is patience. When it comes to deeper acne scars, these are often permanent, and then it may be desirable to see a dermatologist for help. It is worth noting that a dermatologist cannot completely remove acne scars, but with the help of laser treatment, their visibility can be reduced.

How Dr.Dropin can help you

The best way to prevent acne scars is by treating the acne problem, rather than treating the scars once they have already occurred. You can read more about the treatment of acne with Dr.Dropin here.

If you have acne scars, it is not possible to remove them completely, but our dermatologists can reduce their visibility. With the help of laser beams, the production of new connective tissue in the skin will be stimulated, while any pigment differences will be more evened out. This gives a smoother and more even skin tone so that the scars are less visible.

The number of treatments will depend on how big and deep the scars are, but the most common is between 1 and 5 treatments.

Before the treatment

Sunbathing and any use of self-tanning cream should be avoided for 4 weeks before the treatment.
Sunscreen and other substances that can irritate the skin should not be used in the days before the treatment.
The area to be treated should not be covered by make-up or moisturiser.
Laser treatment should be avoided if you have used antibiotics or other similar drugs in the last 12 months, or if you are pregnant or have epilepsy.

After the treatment

The treatment itself usually takes just under 30 minutes, and there will normally be no need for rest or sick leave. It is, of course, worth noting that some people may experience that the skin becomes red for a short period and gets small swellings, but the side effects are for most people very minor. Otherwise, it is good to know the following:

In the 6 following weeks after the treatment, you should use a sun protection factor of at least 30.
It is recommended to avoid direct sunlight and solarium in the weeks after the treatment.
If you get sores after the treatment, a dermatologist should be contacted.
