My acne has recently calmed down but now I™ve been left with a lot of scarring and an uneven look on the cheeks. The acne was very inflamed so now I™m wondering how to get rid of these and what has worked for other people ?75CEABDC-7F24-4999-B25C-8320E699A4B8.jpeg.ed91181830421cb5e96910345558957a.jpeg

@Savills22hi there. Textural boxcars, icepicks, some hypertorphic scars or active acne, hard to tell without seeing you. If you do have active acne please get that under control before you treat as you do not want to spread bacteria. Some redness or PIE. Sub + TCA Cross and rf needling & laser will help you, if you need more contact me by PM(See signature). See a few board certified Drs to consult, pick the best one you like... listed in the FAQ pinned in the main scar treatment forum.

Update ...

my acne is now completely under control! But the scars remain, looking back at my first photos on here the scars are definitely less noticeable.

Since last posting here I did a really minimal routine and just left my skin alone to let the remaining acne heal. Now I™m trying to focus on the scarring 

I™ve been using nip +fan glycolic fix night pads for the last month. these pads have:  5% glycolic acid with salicylic and lactic acid)

and also today I tried the ordinary aha30%+bha 2% peeling solution. Will be taking breaks from the night pads when I use this to avoid irritation. 
 

Going to persevere with these methods until winter 2021 I think and see how they go, if the scarring is still noticeable im going to try out microneedling at a clinic.  
 

any other tips are welcome!
