Are There Any Quick Treatments For Acne Scars Other Than Needle Treatment?

I am 28 years old male and having acne scars on my face from last 10 years.Recently i went for micro needling treatment a week back.Doctor told me to wait for 45 days to see the result and ask me to come for 2nd sitting that time.She told me that i have to continue for 6 sittings ( 6 weeks time in between sittings).Is this true and is there any alternative treat ment to get result with in 2 months.Kindly advise me.

Hi,
Welcome to Health Care Magic, thanks for posting your query. I understand your concern.
Acne scars may take a while for disappearing completely. There are many treatments available other than micro-needling treatment, like chemical peeling, dermabrasion, laser treatment and many more.
If you want a quicker result you can try de-melanising agent like Melacare which might show you results in about 1-2 months depending on the depth of your scars. Even Kojic acid creams (2% kojic acid) can help you with the scars with continued application.
Any treatment you consider might need some time to show you expected results. Consult a dermatologist who will evaluate your skin type , scar type and suggest you an appropriate treatment .
Hope this helps, and answers your query satisfactorily.
Wish you good health .
Regards.
