Acne Scars

Clearer Skin, Renewed Confidence

Acne scars are a common and often frustrating result of moderate to severe acne. They form when inflamed blemishes damage the skin and the tissue beneath it. As the acne heals, the body tries to repair the skin by producing collagen. If too little collagen is produced, the skin can form depressed scars, while too much collagen leads to raised scars.

Types of Acne Scars

Ice-pick scars are small but deep holes in the skin, often difficult to treat without targeted procedures.
Boxcar scars are wider and have more defined edges, typically appearing on the cheeks or jawline.
Rolling scars create a wave-like texture due to bands of scar tissue pulling the skin down.
Hypertrophic and keloid scars are raised, caused by excess collagen, and often occur on the chest, back, or shoulders.
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) refers to flat, dark marks left behind after acne, more common in darker skin tones and often temporary.
