Acne Scarring

Usually, scars tell a story — some of which, we’d rather not share! Acne scars are stubborn, and no single treatment is best for everyone. One or a combination of skin treatments might improve the appearance of your skin, depending on your scar type, your skin type and the severity of the scarring.

Acne Scarring

What causes acne scarring?

Acne scars typically result from inflamed blemishes caused by skin pores that are engorged with excess oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. When a pimple is squeezed or the pore swells, there can be a break in the follicle wall. Shallow lesions tend to heal quickly, but deep breaks in the pore wall can cause infected material to spill into the surrounding tissue, creating deeper lesions. The skin then attempts to repair these lesions by forming new collagen fibers. However, these repairs are often not as smooth and flawless as the original skin, resulting in acne scarring.

What are the best treatments for acne scarring?

Several treatments can help improve acne scarring:

  • Micro-needling: This procedure involves using tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting skin rejuvenation.
  • Fractional resurfacing: Fractional laser treatments target specific areas of the skin, delivering precise wavelengths of light to stimulate collagen production and improve the appearance of acne scars.
  • Morpheus8: Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive radiofrequency microneedling treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture and appearance.
  • Chemical peels: Chemical peels involve applying a chemical solution to the skin to remove the outer layer, revealing smoother and more even-toned skin underneath. This can help improve the appearance of acne scars.
  • Home care: Consistent and proper home care is essential for managing acne scars. This may include using skincare products with ingredients like retinoids, vitamin C, and niacinamide that promote collagen production and improve skin texture. Sun protection is also crucial to prevent further damage and discoloration.

The choice of treatment depends on the severity and type of acne scars, as well as individual factors. It's important to consult with a dermatologist or skincare professional who can assess your specific scarring and recommend the most suitable treatment option for you.
