Acne scars
I had moderate acne a while ago and it's cured with accutane medication but the scars are left behind.
They appear red in colour as seen in the image below.
Should i opt for in-clinic treatment for this type of scars or can i use lightening creams

You will need both simultaneously...since for in clinic treatment you need CO2 laser which is once per month and you may need 4-5 number of
Settings depending upon the scar.
