Q: What are the treatment options for post-acne dark spots?
A: Treating dark spots from acne is different than treating acne scars. Scars are difficult to be fully removed, and they usually remain visible. Dark spots from acne, on the other hand, are #flat against the surface of your skin. They tend to become lighter over time, and eventually go away completely.
Although dark spots can fade away eventually, but it can take anywhere from 3 months to 2 years for them to vanish from sight
Luckily, there are treatments you can try to get rid of them more quickly.
