Acne scars are marks or skin imperfections that remain after an acne breakout heals. They are caused by the inflammation and damage to the skin during an acne episode, particularly when the acne is more severe or if the pimple is picked, popped, or squeezed. There are several types of acne scars, each with distinct characteristics:

  • Atrophic Scars (Depressed scars)

These are the most common type and occur when the skin doesn't produce enough collagen during the healing process. They create a sunken or pitted appearance. Types of atrophic scars include:

  • Ice pick scars: Deep, narrow indentations that look like tiny puncture wounds.
  • Boxcar scars: Broad, U-shaped depressions with sharp edges.
  • Rolling scars: Wavy, uneven skin surface, typically caused by tethering of the skin to underlying tissue.
  • Hypertrophic or Keloid Scars (Raised scars)

These scars occur when the skin produces too much collagen during healing, leading to raised, thickened tissue. Hypertrophic scars are typically confined to the area of the original acne lesion, while keloid scars can extend beyond the acne site and may continue to grow over time.

  • Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)

Though not technically a true ""scar,"" PIH refers to dark spots or discoloration that remain after an acne lesion heals. These are a result of increased melanin production following the inflammation. PIH can fade over time but may take weeks to months to fully disappear.

Causes of Acne Scarring:

  • Severity of acne: More severe acne (like cystic acne) has a higher likelihood of leaving scars.
  • Inflammation: The more intense the inflammation, the higher the risk of scarring.
  • Picking or squeezing pimples: This can damage the skin and increase scarring.
  • Delay in proper treatment: Uncontrolled acne can lead to more severe scarring.

Treatment Options for Acne Scars:

  • Topical treatments: Retinoids, vitamin C, and other ingredients can help improve skin texture and reduce pigmentation.
  • Chemical peels: These use acids to remove the top layers of the skin and promote healing.
  • Microneedling: A procedure that uses small needles to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture.
  • Laser treatments: Laser therapy, such as fractional CO2 lasers, can help improve both the texture and appearance of scars.
  • Dermal fillers: For deeper scars, fillers can temporarily plump the skin and make the scars less noticeable.

Treatment varies depending on the type and severity of the scars, and it's best to consult with a dermatologist to find the most effective approach.

Reviews

I had been on the lookout for a hair loss treatment that does not require surgery. I researched and found PRP and got to know about golgo for the best results. It was amazing to experience with your dermatologists and the advanced double spin technology procedure. I really like this treatment as it was safe and had no side effects. Great overall experience at golgo Clinic as well.

I consulted goglo Clinic for weight loss as I had been struggling to lose weight on my own. From the very first consultation, Mrs Saavika incredibly thorough, taking into account my medical history, lifestyle, and goals before suggesting a personalized treatment plan that included dietary changes and regular follow-ups. The consultant was knowledgeable and supportive, making sure I was comfortable with every step of the process. I began to see noticeable results within a month, and the consistent support I received made all the difference. The clinic was well-maintained, and appointments were easy to schedule. Overall, I’m very satisfied with my experience at Oliva and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a professional and supportive environment for weight loss." Iam loss 8 kg in a months thanks to manjari.
