Acne scars can develop when inflammation from acne damages the deeper layers of the skin, disrupting normal collagen production during the healing process. These scars may appear as depressions, uneven texture, or areas of discoloration that remain long after active acne has resolved. While scars can vary in appearance and severity, modern dermatologic treatments offer highly effective solutions for restoring smoother, more even skin.
Understanding Acne Scarring
There are several types of acne scars, including atrophic scars such as ice pick, boxcar, and rolling scars, which create indentations in the skin. Some individuals may also develop areas of hyperpigmentation or redness following acne breakouts. Because each scar type responds differently to treatment, a thorough skin evaluation is essential in designing an effective treatment strategy.
