How to remove these indentations on my forehead? Had one year of cystic acne so they might be scars from breakouts (Photo)

Scars can be temporary or permanent and there are many aspects of scars that can be improved. During your consultation, we look to determine the textural changes, hypopigmentation, hyperpigmentation, scar color, scar contour depth, scar atrophy, inflammation, and scar thickness. Once complete, a HIDEF protocol is established that includes pigmentation protocols to either lighten or darken scar tone, retexturization of scars, inflammatory mediators, lasers, and contour correction. All of these require time and multi-plane correction.

Hello, thank you for your questions and pictures. Based on the photos provided, it has the appearance of scarring from acne lesions. It also appears you still have some active breakouts on the forehead. I advise you to seek expert consultation and treatment with a board certified dermatologist to assist in controlling further acne breakouts. This is important because continued inflammatory breakouts can cause further scarring. Once the acne itself is controlled, treatment options to consider would be microneedling and/or laser treatment. Hope this helps and take care!
