# Can Sculptra be used to treat acne scars?

Sculptra can be helpful for certain types of acne scars, but it's important to have realistic expectations and understand its role:

- **Suitable Scar Types:** Sculptra works best on atrophic or depressed acne scars, where there's a loss of volume.
- **How It Helps:** By stimulating collagen production, Sculptra can plump the skin and reduce the depth of scars, creating a smoother appearance.
- **Combination Therapies:** For optimal results, AIVI Aesthetics Agoura Hills might recommend combining Sculptra with other acne scar treatments like lasers or microneedling.
- **Not for All Scars:** Sculptra is less effective for raised or hypertrophic scars, as these may require different treatment approaches.
