Naturally lighter skinned Hispanic, but have a deep farmers tan. Deep acne scars on checks from cystic acne breakout, and have had a history of hyperpigmentation. And all the scars and hyperpigmentation are new, I never had this problem before.

Answer: Improving Acne scars with lasers, microneedling/prp, Cosmelan, subcision, fillers A combination approach will give the most improvement. These types of scars need a combination of lasers, microneedling/prp, subcision and fillers. Co2 is the best laser for scars, but Erbium is a great alternative. It may take a series of treatments and may need some treatments to maintain. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an acne scarring expert. Best, Dr. Emer
