Further treatment options depend on the type and depth of your scars and may include microneedling to improve shallow scars, fractional laser for deeper scars, and dermal fillers to lift depressed areas. Often, a combination of these treatments, along with continued oil-control and gentle non-comedogenic skincare, gives the best results. Discuss these options with your dermatologist for a personalised plan.
