Flat red or brown marks and depressed scars can look similar in a photograph. They involve different changes and may call for different approaches.
What is the difference between a mark and a scar?
A flat colour change is different from a change in the skin’s surface or depth. A clinician examines both colour and contour before proposing treatment.
Why does active acne matter first?
New breakouts can keep creating new marks and scars. Ask whether active acne needs treatment before, or alongside, a scar plan.
Which options can you discuss in Daegu?
