Acne Scarring
WHAT IS ACNE SCARRING?
Acne scarring refers to the lasting marks left on the skin as a result of severe or persistent acne. When the skin undergoes inflammation due to acne lesions, the natural healing process may lead to the formation of scars.
There are two main types of acne scars: atrophic and hypertrophic. Atrophic scars, which are more common, result from a loss of tissue and collagen, leading to depressed areas on the skin, such as icepick, boxcar, or rolling scars. Hypertrophic scars, on the other hand, occur when there is an excess of collagen production, resulting in raised, thickened areas.
The severity of acne scarring can vary, and while some scars may fade over time, others may persist indefinitely.
HOW IS IT TREATED?
Various treatments, including laser therapy, chemical peels, microneedling, and dermal fillers, can help improve the appearance of acne scars by promoting collagen remodeling and smoothing the skin’s surface.
Laser Therapy can stimulate collagen production and resurface the skin, reducing the appearance of scars.
Chemical Peels involve the application of a chemical solution to remove the top layer of skin, promoting new skin growth and minimising the appearance of scars.
Microneedling involves the use of a device with fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and improving texture.
Dermal Fillers can be used to raise depressed scars and restore volume to the skin, providing a smoother appearance.
Topical Treatments: Prescription creams containing ingredients like retinoids or alpha hydroxy acids may help improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of scars over time.
Early intervention and a tailored approach to scar management are essential for achieving optimal results.
