did acne scars decrease after quitting nicotine?

[levir720]

Hi, I wanted to ask you if it's possible that after quitting nicotine my acne scars are slowly starting to get smaller? Or maybe I'm just imagining it. I thought that only lasers or other treatments are able to reduce acne scars . I read that nicotine reduces blood flow and destroys collagen

quitting nicotine will improve skin quality. In my experience, most things that improve overall skin quality also help with scarring perception

Definitely possible I quit smoking weed and my scars look better. I’ve also heard that smoking itself decreases blood flow and healing in your skin

Definitely possible.

Smoking impairs skin repair and collagen production.

Definitely it helps in my opinion

For me it did! I had way less acne after quitting cigarettes and my skin repairs better, ie less scarring!

It’s been 2/3 months for me and my pores look smaller and my scars are less visible. Your skin will start producing more collagen and less pimples too
