Can acne scarring get better with time, by itself?

I have some pitted scars from acne when I was younger. Like normal scars, can acne scars get better with time, just by it self?





Also, has anyone gotten chemical peels or laser resurfacing to help with scarring? Did the procedure give you skin discoloration and other scarring?

They will be less noticeable with time - to speed the process, use maderma - its like $15 for a tube, and if it's just one or two marks, it is probably the best thing to use.





If you have bad scarring covering large areas of your face, microderm abrasion is really good to aid in scars and is less expensive than chemical peels.





Chemical peels are really effective - I had one and didn't like it because of the healing time, but it made my face glow when it did heal. You may need more than one if your scars are bad. If you do a chemical peel, you have to stay out of the sun for a few months or your skin will be discolored and possibly worse than your skin is now. Plus, it's summertime, so it's tough to stay out of the sun completely.
Reply:yes it can. I have a little mark on my face. it takes about 1 year for a lot of it to go away. just dont pick at it
Reply:yes. and if you want it to go away faster, try Mederma (sorry idk if it's spelled correctly, but it sounds like that). when i accidentally burned my fore head with my straightener (i know, careless..lol) i had a scar, but using Mederma, it went away within a few weeks! good luck
