Acne Scars

The signs of inflammation shouldn't last forever.

Acne scars are a structural change in the skin that can persist long after the active inflammation has subsided. An effective approach begins with correctly identifying the type and depth of the scars and combining therapies that stimulate the gradual remodeling of the skin.

What kinds are there?

Acne scars can vary in shape, depth, and the extent to which the skin's structure has been altered.

These characteristics determine which methods and combinations of procedures are most appropriate. 

Not every acne mark is a scar. Residual redness or pigmentation requires a different approach than structural changes in the skin. 

01

ice pick

Narrow, deep scars that run vertically into the skin and resemble small, pinpoint-sized indentations.

02

Boxcar

Wider, indented scars with clearly defined edges. They can be either superficial or deeper.

03

Rolling

Wider, smoother indentations that give the skin its characteristic wavy and uneven texture.

04

hypertrophic

Raised and thickened areas formed as a result of excessive collagen buildup during healing.

APPROPRIATE PROCEDURES AND CARE

Skin Rejuvenation: Step by Step.

The appropriate treatment protocol is determined based on the type and depth of the scars, the condition of the skin, and the individual’s ability to heal. Often, the best results are achieved through a combination of different methods.

Dermapen 4

Microneedling creates controlled microchannels and activates the skin’s natural regenerative processes. It is suitable for improving atrophic scars, uneven skin surface, and overall skin texture.

LaseMD Ultra

Fractional laser technology stimulates skin renewal and remodeling. It is suitable for superficial atrophic scars, uneven skin texture, and associated post-inflammatory pigmentation changes.

Chemical Peel

Professionally selected chemical peels promote surface renewal and can improve fine textural irregularities and post-acne hyperpigmentation. They can be used on their own or as part of a combination treatment regimen.

Colorescience

UV protection is an important part of any treatment regimen for post-acne scars. Proper sun protection helps minimize the risk of further pigmentation and protects the skin as it heals.
