Scars: Will my scar go away?
Many scars will fade without treatment. Keloids and depressed (sunken) acne scars, however, won’t fade. As you age, depressed acne scars tend to become more noticeable as your skin loses its firmness.
Treatment can help fade scars more quickly. If you have a keloid or depressed acne scar, treatment can make it less noticeable.
Although treatment can help, it’s always best to prevent a scar whenever possible. The right wound care can reduce your risk of getting a scar or make a scar less noticeable.
