Degree of Improvement of Retin-A for pitted scars?

February 19, 2016
Asked By:nl28 in Brewster, NY

I know retinoids like Retin-A and Tazorac remodel collagen in the dermis, so if one uses them at a high strength for many years, can they eventually get rid of indented scarring and other skin imperfections completely?
