This guide explains everything about acne scars, why they occur, and the treatments we offer to help you achieve flawless skin.

What Are Acne Scars?

Acne scars are marks left behind after acne heals. These occur when severe acne damages deeper layers of the skin, leading to abnormal collagen production and uneven healing. If untreated, these scars can be permanent, but professional treatments can significantly reduce their appearance.

Types of Acne Scars

  • Atrophic Scars (Depressed Scars):
    • Ice-Pick Scars: Small, deep holes resembling punctured skin.
    • Boxcar Scars: Sharply defined depressions with angular edges.
    • Rolling Scars: Broad depressions with wavy, uneven edges.
  • Hypertrophic Scars (Raised Scars):
    • Thick, raised scars because of excess collagen during healing.
  • Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH):
    • Dark or red spots left after acne heals. While not true scars, they can take months or years to fade without treatment.

Why Do Acne Scars Appear?

  • Severity of Acne: Deep, cystic acne causes significant skin damage, increasing the likelihood of scars.
  • Delayed Treatment: Leaving acne untreated can result in permanent scarring.
  • Picking or Popping Acne: Disrupts natural healing, worsening scars.
  • Genetics: Some people are genetically prone to scarring.
  • Skin Type: Darker skin tones may be more prone to certain scars.
