Acne scars - permanent or fixable?

[Deleted member 39]

I have taken Accutane for the past six months. I had severe acne that lead to severe scarring. I didn't pop the pimples at the end. Do you think these scars will fade and have my skin color eventually? Or do I definitely need a laser therapy?

Those aren't fading by themselves, tbh.

They are really red, but not VERY deep. Do you think a laser therapy session would fix the issue? I'll talk to my dermatologist tomorrow.

I moisturize twice a day. After my treatment, which will end in 12 months, I'll try oils. I don't want to try them too soon as it could lead to new break outs at this stage.

They look like boxcar scars, if im not wrong, might need something known as 'punch excision'.

laser would be a very simple solution

The acne on my back went away without Accutane actually. The scars on my back are very bad though, even after a year of healing. The scars in my face won't be that severe, at least I hope so.

Looks like some bad hyper pigmentation, mostly icepick scars and some rolling scars

As far as how to get rid of them

Spoiler

THE GAME IS TO BE SOLD, AND NOT TO BE TOLD

Happy Looksmaxing

You are going to need a lot of lasers and chemical peels. All else is cope with the severity shown in the pictures.

U should look into acne scar treatments either at home, (dermapen from Amazon or directly from a site) or look into getting treatment done at a dermatologist clinic(it us kinda expensive but worth it if it works)

I'm about to get a dermapen for my acne scars so I don't have much knowledge/experience tbh.

I'll go for a treatment done by a dermatologist. I won't cope with Amazon products that, and I'm convinced of that, will not work.
I have to wait 2 years at minimum unfortunately.
My Accutane treatment takes 12 more months and after that the skin needs to basically become normal again to get this treatment which will take another year.

Read the response above. If I did dermastamping or other shit WHILE being on Accutane I'd ruin my skin. Need to wait 2 years.

If you're on accutane yeah don't do it. Accutane might clear up those scars a bit as well

Yeah, Accutane does help a lot, even with scarring, just by preventing new pimples to appear.
My acne started on my forehead when I was around 13/14. This was also where the acne basically went away the first, too. After around 4 years, the scars look like this. I guess all my pimples will end up having this shade of pink.

Yeah discoloration is annoying ik. I never had cystic acne level skin but my skin used to be pretty fucking bad in high school. It made me really sad and ruined my self esteem for 2 years ish

Never really had any self-esteem, even before I was plagued with severe acne, so luckily I did not have to go through such a personality change
