Acne scars are a common reminder of past breakouts, but you don’t have to live with them forever. At Fanous MedSpa, we offer personalized treatments designed to smooth skin texture, reduce scarring, and restore your natural glow. Let’s explore the causes of acne scars, the different types, and how our advanced treatments can help.
What Are Acne Scars?
Acne scars are permanent changes in skin texture that occur after a pimple or cyst heals. The scars form when the skin is damaged by severe inflammation, which can lead to either raised or depressed marks. While they may appear as reminders of past breakouts, the right treatments can significantly reduce their appearance.
Types of Acne Scars
There are two main types of acne scars:
Atrophic Scars
These scars are depressed below the surface of the skin. They can be divided into:
- Ice Pick Scars: Narrow, deep indentations that resemble puncture wounds.
- Boxcar Scars: Broad, rectangular depressions with sharp, defined edges.
- Rolling Scars: Smooth, wide depressions with sloping edges, giving the skin a wavy appearance.
Hypertrophic Scars
These scars are raised above the surface of the skin and are typically firmer and more noticeable. Hypertrophic scars are caused by an overproduction of collagen during the healing process.
What Causes Acne Scarring?
Several factors contribute to the formation of acne scars:
- Severe Acne: Cystic acne or deep, inflamed pimples are more likely to leave scars.
- Skin Picking: Picking or squeezing pimples can lead to further inflammation and worsen scarring.
- Delayed Treatment: Untreated acne, especially cystic acne, increases the risk of scarring.
- Genetics: Some people are more prone to developing acne scars due to their genetic makeup.
Preventing Acne Scarring
While scarring can’t always be prevented, you can take steps to minimize the risk:
- Treat Acne Early: Address acne before it becomes severe to prevent scarring.
- Avoid Picking: Resist the urge to pick or pop pimples to reduce the risk of scarring.
- Use Sunscreen: Protect your skin from UV damage, which can worsen hyperpigmentation from scars.
