Old skin will sometimes have less to do with age than with a spot that makes the face look prematurely old. One such problem-and a fairly common one-is acne scars.

Acne scars is one of the most common skin disorders in the world, afflicting 40 to 50 million people. Nearly 82 percent of people aged 12 to 29 years have acne, most often on the face, chest and back. Healed acne does leave scars in some people, however, and it is not easy to predict who will have scars after acne and who will not. Inflamed acne always leaves scars after healing, although in groups of people even superficially inflamed acne can result in scars.

Whether acne scarring is deep or superficial, the face result can be less than wanted and even disturbing.
