Cell Glow recommends: Light may complement care for active acne and superficial redness; do not expect a red light panel to remove deep acne scars. Choose a Cell Glow panel if you also want broader RLT uses, and have indented or persistent scars assessed by a dermatologist.
What type of scar do you mean?
Red or brown spots after acne can fade over time; true atrophic scars are dents in the skin. Those distinctions are important. Studies on acne scars primarily examine interventions such as fractional lasers, microneedling, and other energy devices. Their effects cannot be transferred to a soft LED mask.
What does research show?
An analysis of randomized trials found improvement in scars for certain fractional lasers, with their own disadvantages such as pain. The AAD describes visible LED therapy primarily for pimples, not for evening out dents. A product text that 'acne scars disappear' promises, goes beyond the available evidence.
What is a sensible route?
First have active acne controlled to prevent new scars. Ask a dermatologist what type of scar is present and what treatment suits it. A skin routine with sun protection remains important; consider light at most as additional care for another, clear purpose.
