Active acne needs to be brought under good control before starting acne scar treatment. Treating scars while breakouts are still occurring can increase inflammation and lead to new scarring. If you are still experiencing active acne, I can advise on managing this first and then transition you into scar treatment once your skin is more stable. This staged approach helps protect your skin and achieve better long-term results."}
