Best Treatment for Back Acne Scars

I have had back acne when I was a teenager. But I ignored it and did nothing about it. Now my back is full of scars. Can these be treated?

Treatment for back acne scars

Absolutely, there are many options to improve and eradicate acne scars on the back. I routinely perform these in my office and they encompass the following evaluation and treatment. Hyperpigmentation of scars Contour irregularities Ice pick scars Hypertrophic scars Each of these can contribute to acne scars and each can be treated with non-invasive modalities, including chemical peels, TAC injection, dermabrasion, microdermabrasion, and topical creams.

Unfortunately, there is no treatment

There is no treatment you can use that will remove the scars on your back from acne.  Anything you might try will either do nothing or will potentially cause more scars.  So it is best to leave the area alone.
