What is Post-Acne Pigmentation Treatment?
Dark marks after acne, called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, are not true scars and usually fade with the right treatment. Red marks may need a different approach. Treatment combines controlling acne, sun protection, topical lightening agents and in-clinic peels or laser toning.

Post-Acne Pigmentation Treatment: common questions
Will acne marks fade on their own?
Many fade slowly over months, but treatment speeds this up and sun protection prevents them from darkening.
