  To repair the damage done to the dermis, the skin forms new collagen fibers.
  Unfortunately, the finished "repair job" never looks as smooth and flawless as before the injury.The longer inflammation persist the more likely it is to leave a sequel, what we call an acne caused scarring.
  This means if one pimple can stay there for more than one week, it's more likely to produce scarring. Then, getting rid of acne scars is more difficult.
  The most effective way to Prevent a scar is by preventing acne from developing into a more severe form.
  You have to start immediately after the acne injury, to prevent the severity of scars. Quick, effective treatment can help lessen the chance of developing deep scars.
