Are there any topical products that can help with pitted acne scars, or must I opt for fractional laser treatment? (photo)

Doctor's Answer

Hello Bemme

Thank you for your question. You can try topical retinoids (retin A/ differin) which will help with mild acne scars, acne control, skin texture and oily skin.

Use it at night for 1 to 2 months, and you should be able to see some results. However it is not enough to shrink your pores.

A fractional resurfacing laser or microneedling fractional radiofrequency treatment can be done in combination for better results and more severe acne scars and uneven skin texture.

It will also improve small to medium sized pores. Speak to a doctor to find out more. Hope this helps!

Regards,

Dr Jiwei Wu
