Procedure Details

An acne scar manifests as an irregularity on the skin’s surface that can develop following the healing of an acne lesion. The scars take the form of skin holes and depression, which are often found in different sizes, depths, and shapes. The underlying cause of an acne scar is inflammation of the skin as a result of severe and persistent acne. During a skin healing process, it generates new collagen fibers to repair the deep wound that is caused by acne. However, the recovery is not as seamless as the original skin which results in the formation of acne scars. Furthermore, the act of popping and scaring acne blemishes can further exacerbate scaring in the skin. Scars are a visible reminder of a past skin injury that has affected the deeper layers of the skin where collagen fibers play a crucial role in providing structural support. The impact of scars on individuals can vary depending on the type of scar they have. Following are the different types of scars: Atrophic scars: These are depressed scars that result from a loss of tissue. They manifest as sunken or indented pits on the skin, often seen after severe acne
