40, male - What treatments will help with acne scarring? (Photos)

May 2, 2025
Asked By:stevenrb in LaGrange, Ohio

Hi, I’m a 40 year old white male. I have a bit of acne scarring on my nose and deeps pores. I also have a scar on my cheek from my dermatologist cutting too deep into my skin. I’ve had roughly 30 blue peel chemical peels, 2 Aqua Gold treatments, A glicolic chemical peel and I’ve done at-home micro needling. Nothing seems to heal these scars. Any recommendations or suggestions for permanent healing?
