What is an Acne Scar?

Acne scars are the outcome of pimples, inflamed lesions, and breakouts. These pimples or inflamed blemishes that occur when pores or follicles becomes engorged with excess oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria, that leads to inflammation. This inflammation causes the follicle to rupture, and the infected material destroys the healthy skin tissue. Acne scars appear as superficial indentations or injuries on the skin.

Types of Acne Scars:

There are mainly two types of acne scars:

1. Atrophic or depressed scars.

2. Hypertrophic or raised scar.

1. Atrophic or depressed scars

Atrophic scars mostly occur on the face and are commonly known as a depressed scar. They occur when the body does not produce enough collagen during the wound healing process.

Atrophic scars are further categorized as:

a. Boxcar Scar: They appear to be wide, U-shaped, and have sharp edges. They can be shallow or deep in appearance.

b. Ice pick Scar: These are narrow and appears like V-shaped. They resemble a lot like small round or oval-shaped holes, just like a chickenpox scar.

c. Rolling Scar: These appear like wide depressions and have rounded edges and are irregular in appearance.

2. Hypertrophic or raised scars

These scars are most commonly seen in the case of chest and back acne. They tend to rise above the surface of the surrounding skin and are caused by excessive collagen production during the healing phase. For example, Keloids.

Micro-dermabrasion:

Chemical peels:

Chemical peels are effective in reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation and shallow acne scars around a healed acne lesion. It involves the application of skin-friendly chemicals to the skin, which act on the outermost layer of the skin and removes it, giving it a smoother and an even-looking appearance.

Lasers Treatment:

Laser therapy uses a focused beam of light to remove the outer layer of the skin. This promotes the new skin cells formation, stimulate collagen production that all help to rejuvenate skin and provides an improved scar-free appearance. Various types of lasers are used, depending on the patient’s skin tone, texture, and type of scars.

Fillers:

Fillers are also considered as one of the most effective approaches to treat acne scars. These fillers are used to “fill out” void created by acne; they also help to break up scar tissue and stimulate collagen production. This helps to diminish the appearance of acne scars, and also improves the skin texture.
