Pimples are not just unsightly and annoying, but according to Dr. Marchbein, this condition may lead to scarring. "Acne scarring is permanent damage to the collagen which underlies the top layer of skin. Scarring can result from even mild acne breakouts and typically looks like indentations in the skin (although sometimes may be raised)."

Instead of treating scars, she suggests trying to prevent them from happening in the first place. "The best treatment is always prevention. If you are breaking out, make sure to see your dermatologist for a comprehensive acne routine."

But if you already have scars, there are sill options to restore your skin. "If the damage is already done, various lasers including fractionated lasers such as Fraxel, or microneedling devices can be very effective," she said. "However multiple treatments with upwards of five to seven days of downtime are often needed. Additionally, various injectable fillers including hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane and Juvederm and some newer longer lasting fillers can be used for those who aren't good laser candidates."
