I have mild acne with mostly blackheads and Whiteheads. Old blackheads have left these scars on cheek and another I have from a scratch. Are these ice pick marks? They™re not very deep but still noticeable. Does anyone know of treatments that could help. I only want to fix these scars on my cheek and wouldn™t want to mess with the rest of my face thank you. Up close you can see em real good lol so I would like to smooth out my face, thanks!

Your skin looks to be in very good condition, It's best to leave it be if your not prepared for the treatments it takes over time. If it's not broken don't fix it.Yes they do appear to be icepicks. TCA cross works on them. Be aware they will get wider but less deep, the borders will be smoother, then you would do a spot peel over them for texture. It takes several rounds.

You are kidding me, right?

Your skin looks fantastic. I wouldn't bother with any treatments and just go out and live your life.

TCA, yes, majority of skin A OK, but ice picks... 90% focal TCA, with vvv focal fractional CO2. Better results when wall hit with laser - namely incidental fractional beam. 3-4 seasons at most. TCA all the way.....
