Management of acne-related scarring

If a person's acne-related scarring is severe and persists a year after their acne has cleared:

  • refer the person to a consultant dermatologist-led team with expertise in scarring management
  • in a consultant dermatologist-led team setting, consider laser treatment (alone or after a session of punch elevation) or glycolic acid peel.
