No, this is not true. However, here is another situation where the 'untrue' old wives' tale has a grain of truth buried within it.
What actually happens as we age is that the loss of elastin tissue combined with the weakening of the muscles causes various 'sags' to appear. Sometimes these sags pull one or more acne scars out of shape -so that they look larger or more pronounced than they did originally.
So... acne scars don't actually get worse as we age - but sometimes they look worse!
