| Acne scars, like facial wrinkles, are visible because they are lower or deeper than surrounding skin. Light casts shadows into acne scars, making them even more obvious. If acne scars can be brought close to the same level as surrounding skin, their visibility will diminish because shadows will be less obvious. Plumping up the skin in the deeply acne-scarred area leaves the skin more evenly textured. This is accomplished by lowering the surrounding skin through microdermabrasion or increasing the collagen in the depressed areas with non-ablative treatments. For optimal results, a treatment program consisting of non-ablative, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and home care products is recommended.
