Dark acne scars, also known as hyperpigmentation, are a common result of acne. They occur when the skin produces too much melanin, the pigment that gives color to the skin, in response to inflammation caused by acne. Dark acne scars can be difficult to treat, but there are several options available.

Topical creams and serums containing ingredients such as hydroquinone, kojic acid, and azelaic acid can help to lighten the appearance of dark acne scars by inhibiting the production of melanin.

Chemical peels and microdermabrasion can also be effective in treating dark acne scars by removing the top layers of skin and promoting the growth of new skin cells.

Laser therapy, such as Fractional laser resurfacing, can target the affected area and help to lighten the dark acne scars by stimulating collagen production, that can help to improve the texture and tone of the skin.

It is important to consult with a dermatologist to determine the best treatment plan for your specific case, as some treatments may not be suitable for all skin types.

It's also important to note that sun exposure should be avoided before and after treatment as it can cause further hyperpigmentation and make it harder to treat.
