The answer to our patient’s question, on what is best for them in terms of acne scar treatment is not a straightforward one.
Every single patient is different from the other one in terms of skin types, acne scar (there are different types), how long the acne was active, when they first started treatment of acne, what type of treatment they took and how long was the duration of the treatment. All these are definitely different for every single individual who is suffering from acne scars.
