How To Treat Acne Scarring (2024)

[@usamasyed]

I made a retinoid cream! If you're interested in using it for acne scarring, check it out here: shop.heystratum.com It's now my favorite retinoid product in the world and the one I use each night... but I'm biased here, so do your own research. I used the strongest over the counter retinoid available in the U.S. to get maximum effect, but added a BUNCH of moisturizing and soothing ingredients so that it's not irritating like most retinoids.

[@Breastident]

My acne scars are not severe, do you think retinoid might work?

Hey Dr Usama There's a new doctor around the block in youtube called Dr abs He claims that dermarollers are much more effective compared to the expensive sessions at clinic sessions Does his claim have any validity?

My acne and scars were so bad that the dermatologist office took pictures and sent them to my insurance, who agreed to cover scar procedures. Acne, especially severe acne, is directly correlated with depression.

As a 30 year old woman, acne scarring has truly changed my quality of life for the worst. I don’t date, I don’t go out much, and I feel very self conscious. It sucks when im in the car and sun is shining and it highlights the scars. I’ve been suffering for over 10 years. It’s hard to deal with. I went to a aesthetician and received a chemical peel, but they gave me the wrong one and that did nothing for my face. Between the depression, self consciousness, and I feel like I can’t live a full life because of the scars on my face.

In my experience laser therapy and micro needling is THE BEST treatment in terms of acne and acne scaring. It completely turned my skin around when neither creams, antibiotics, tretonoids nor diet and what not helped.

[@usamasyed]

Agreed! These are the most effective.

[@isisjsbsdi5939]

Which type of laser therapy ?

[@yanisyns6427]

I am interested in hearing more about this as well! What kind of laser treatment have you found to be most effective? Do you have to get it on a regular basis or just a few sessions to completely eliminate the problem?

[@justusbrk]

Initially I did it every month (if not maybe every 2 weeks, I am not sure). This helped especially against the Acne. But the effect is very lasting, so currently every 3-4 months is sufficient for me. This is also due to "condition" having goten better. So now I do for the scarring. I found that the laser worked better than the needling. Although; the needling worked best at a higher intensity with a deeper piercing (deeper piercing will hurt more though). I can't tell you much about the laser. I only know what my doc cals them. There are some that help better against acne, some better against scarring. Laser-vampire-needling is not recommended by me though. All in all i wish my previous doc didnt keep his mout shut and told me about this. It was my best life decision yet. Truly life changing for me. Pls remember the experience may vary.

I got cystic acne at 39 and my skin was going crazy around my jawline, chin and chest. I challenged my insurance when they refused to cover my treatment and the person I spoke to was very sympathetic and I got it covered. I do have to get recertified every 3 years but so far so good. I went on spironolactone 50mg, Retin-A, azelaic acid from the dermatologist. This worked great but a few years we went to 100mg and kept the others but included a benzoyl peroxide face wash. I am now the happy owner of clear skin with one or two breakouts a year if that! I stan science. Thanks for your no BS videos!

[@usamasyed]

Great regimen!!

[@narmattarum]

Ive done micro dermabrasion, chemical peels, microneedling, fully ablative laser resurfacing (that's under anesthesia, performed by a surgeon with 6 months heal time), subscision, and filler. I still have pretty severe scars. Nothing has worked for me. I do think the medical grade skincare I've been using has made a huge difference in texture. Ultimately, though, you just kind to have to learn to live with it. I've found that people really aren't that superficial in real life, unless they're young or generally shallow.

APPLAUSE, APPLAUSE, APPLAUSE TO YOU FOR BEING SO BRUTALLY HONEST ! I have suffered my whole entire life with box scars and indented rolling scars and w/ laser treatments that I have used didnt really help me. Now that I'm 68 yrs. old, I recently had microneedling and I've had 8 sessions which cost me a lot and yet, my scars have only improved about 50 %. I'm thinking of getting more sessions just to hopefully get me a smoother skin. You're right, INSURANCE IS CRAZY FOR NOT HAVING THESE TYPE OF CONDITION BEING COVERED ! I wish I can afford to get a fat transfer and fillers . I also began using some type of Retinol but I know I will have to continue w/ more microneedling. I'm not exctly sure about PRP.

[@Abdullah97484]

I think it’s also important to note those who are considering Lasering that many clinics use lasers that work well with those on the Fitzpatrick scale of 1-2 (skin type) and can cause scaring to those with more melanin rich skin. Those with more hyperpigmentation prone skin have to opt for a laser known as Nd:YAG which is often more expensive. At least that is my experience. Would be great to see an efficacy comparison between Nd:YAG and Microneedling so can channel the funds for the most effective treatment for those of darker skin tones.

[@MelissaMelissa-ge6jx]

Pico lasers are also appropriate for type 3+.

[@whitepaper5241]

Yep. A fully ablative CO² fractional laser isn't suitable for Fitzpatrick scale 3 and darker. In my country, we use a mildly ablative CO² fractional laser because it's sunny all year and most people are on Fitzpatrick scale 3 and darker. It's not nearly as effective as the fully ablative ones, but it's quite effective for moderate pigmentation and mild scars. People with severe acne scars are usually given 2-4 treatments at once - they usually consist of subsicion, tca cross, prp, and CO² fractinal laser. And while insurance can't cover those treatments, it's fairly cheap to get those combined treatments - around $100-$300 here.

[@AxuPlays]

Thanks for acknowledging the importance of acne scar treatments not being insured. I've dealt with cystic acne and scarring for years and only now after lengthy isotretinoin / laser / alternative treatments I am sort of where I want to be. Not to mention that my skin was broken, bleedy and itchy as hell for the majority of that time.

[@AxionSmurf]

Hey dude, or shall I say Doctor Dude :) , I've had cystic acne scarring for over 20 years, and I agree with you that OTC products are very limited in effectiveness. In fact I found absolutely nothing disagreeable about any of your statements. You're quite helpful. After a year of Accutane about 5 years ago, the chance I'll get another acne cyst is probably around 95 percent reduced. I almost never see them, but am also using Retin A every day and have ever since Accutane cessation. Before that, I took Doxycyline every day for 15 years. Eventually I started hitting a wall getting it because suddenly everyone was saying that you can't take it for more than 3 months, and I couldn't get an Rx for it anymore, which motivated Accutane treatment. I was too scared of the extremely long and horrifying list of Accutane side effects, but I experienced virtually zero side effects from a year of Accutane treatment. Dry mouth and eyes is all I can remember from it. I wish I'd done it much sooner. From your suggestions I think I'll go with laser treatments. Is there any difference between "Fractional CO2 laser" and any other kind of laser treatment?

[@nikeisagreekgoddess4135]

The felt experience of someone with severe acne scarring is comparable to experiencing mutilation. Mostly because it's facial. Your beauty is taken away, changes in lighting suddenly reveal a grostesque attribute to your facial features to others. Being aware of that makes you want to not be seen. In addition to dealing with that loss, you have to deal with people who lie to you. You knpw how perfectionistic women are about their appearence and yet they pretend your scars are not a big deal. The way we judge ourselves is the way we judge others.

[@ahmadhassan987]

Thanks to Allah, that you posted videos...after a long break

[@TaraDondale]

I really like this video and your honesty. I wouldn't however pick on these so called 'hippies' for giving very worthwhile input on health warnings beyond skincare. People are very easily influenced by an easy fix, especially when recommended by a doctor but there are other doctors who have dedicated their lives to the interactions of the body as a whole and would disagree with the abundant prescription of medication. As a healthcare professional you should always be open to new opinion, and it is worrisome how fast you shoot these people down. For people experiencing highly inflamed skin, diet plays a huge role. Cutting out foods that upset the gut will absolutely help.

[@laurencunningham143]

Hey, I just wanted to say that I know it feels tragic right now because you’re still mourning what your skin used to look like, and that’s really normal and okay to feel such sadness and despair, because it is a really hard thing to go through. But just so you know, the people who look past stuff like acne scars will far outweigh the people who fixate on it. There will be many people who still find you just as attractive even with scars, and won’t be bothered by it at all. When someone tells you that you are handsome, believe them and don’t second guess it, because they are saying the truth. Human beings have a special ability to see each other through a “lense of love”. I promise you that the people you meet that are really into you and feeling love for you are going to see you as truly stunning, regardless of some acne scars. The people who criticize your skin, are ones who are deeply tormented inside their own heads, so they feel the need to point out flaws in everyone around them to try and make others feel insecure. That is a very sad life for them. Ignore those petty people, focus on the ones that uplift you..: and look forward to the day that you are making your appointments to get your micro needling and laser treatments! Set a goal to save up for it… and even if it takes 10 years to reach that… you’ll be walking this earth with glowing skin and a glowing heart because you walked through dark times and came out on the other side stronger and wiser. Good luck to you

I already used in the past Isotretinoina (tablets) which was very efficient to stop acne. Also tretoin cream helps with the scaring. (this was with dermatologist advice)

[@gc8022]

How long did you use isotretinoin tablet and tretinoin cream?

[@Manohar_Patil.]

Plzzz make a video on ACCUTANE oral prescription plss....

My hubby has the worst scars from his teenage acne. I pushed him to try dermastamping with the Banisher 2.0. Now his scars faded and his skin is glowing. Just once or 2x a month of dermastamping! 💯

Dr Usama, could you comment on the effectiveness of microneedling at home. Thank you for this very informative video.

[@ia6963]

Can you please make a video about hyperpigmentation after acne. How to treat PIH and dark spots

[@A.yackub]

Thanks so much..

[@kariellefowell]

I’ve used Paula’s choice Bha 2% exfoliant works great

I consider myself fortunate that I don't have much scarring from my teenage cystic acne. I took Accutane in college, which got rid of it. There are some inconspicuous scars on my chin that no one has ever remarked on. Some foundation covers them up.

[@jonquilude]

Extremely helpful information in such a short and concise video. Thank you. Do you have any tips on finding a dermatologist? After reading so many comments about people having bad experiences, I want to make sure I choose the right doctor for the procedures.

[@usamasyed]

Thanks! Honestly it’s hard to tell. I think a combination of personal recommendations from others who have been there and potentially online reviews (although these can have their problems too!)

[@NM-hq1io]

So true - I bought an entire skin routine thinking it would eliminate my scars, months later they are still here ;(

[@hulk6932]

Same lmao 😂

[@aminaameen7692]

Please make a video on how to get rid of acne. Im litrly tired.Got treatment from dermatologist as well.had accutane but acne comes back and those post acne hyperpigmentation is a nightmare .

[@rl66]

For women is often a hormonal problem... So the problem will be always there after the treatments... Maybe your gynecologist came help also

[@aminaameen7692]

@@rl66 apparently m having no harmonal problem got checked from gyne too.

Can you please make a video on the treatment of stretch marks too?

[@rawanodat2643]

Thanks for the video

[@sharonkende4774]

Anyway I do appreciate how you explain scar treatment

[@MrAsgharbukhari]

Love you bro, thanks. Allah bless you.

[@OpuYT]

is it true that scar treatment like micro needling and laser therapy only make sense after the acne calmed down? So that there are no new scars incoming even after spending all that money on the scar treatment because of new acne

[@usamasyed]

I tend to agree with this. Always best to stop new lesions first.

[@OpuYT]

@@usamasyed is this only because the treatment is expensive and otherwise it would have to be done twice because new scars appear? Or would it have consequences to undertake a microneedling or laser treatment while still getting outbreaks sometimes

[@Wizard_of_ZaZa]

I read that micro needling also helps with hair growth

[@happinesssomewhere18]

I had a subscion done a few years back on a deep scar Even with the numbing afterwards felt kind of painful But definitely stimulated the collagen inside Thankfully my scar wasn’t that deep to receive fillers too It’s perfect now the way it is from where it was

[@KingOfHeroes1996]

Hi Dr. Syed, I found you through Ali Abdaal's skincare video and I really appreciate how you guys have simplified skincare for me! I've been sticking to a routine for a while now and I'm feeling real improvement in how my face feels, and pretty soon I'm gonna be doing intracel pro microneedling for my acne scars. I was wondering if you might at some point make a video talking about body acne? (Namely, back/chest acne.)

[@usamasyed]

Good idea! Will add it to my list 🙌🏼

[@akibulislam9837]

Doctor, Which treatment is better for superficial acne scar??
