👇 Here is the most expensive mistake that our Dermatologists see in patients trying to get rid of their acne scars
❌ They react to their scars with expensive cosmetic treatments, and ignore the ongoing acne in the background that causes the scars!
❗Here's the simple issue: Since acne (e.g. pimples, cystic lesions, blackhead & whiteheads) causes your scars, if you don't control your acne, you will keep getting new scars. And you will keep paying for expensive scar treatments !
Here's what you should do instead:
👉 FIRST, see a dermatologist to get proper medical treatment so you don't get any more acne. Often, over-the-counter skincare may not contain the prescription power that is needed to fully clear your acne
👉 THEN, only once you're completely acne clear, go for the best cosmetic scar treatments to fade them away.
👉 And, FYI, the treatment for acne scars is NOT the same as the treatment to get rid of acne
👉 And, FYI, it is not safe to get cosmetic scarring treatment (which can fade away your scars) while you have active acne on your face at the same time
