What is Scarring?

Scarring occurs when the skin heals after injury or inflammation, such as acne or pimple breakouts. These scars can range from mild to severe, leaving noticeable marks on the skin. Acne scars are particularly common, leaving deep indentations or discoloration. Scarring can impact self-confidence and appearance, making it important to treat early for better results.

Common Causes

  • Internal factors: Acne scars are primarily caused by inflammation from cystic acne, which damages skin tissues and causes scarring during healing.
  • External factors: Picking or squeezing pimples can worsen acne scars, prolonging the healing process and leaving more severe scarring.
  • Medical conditions: Hormonal changes and genetics may influence the severity and likelihood of developing acne scars.

Types of Scarring

Atrophic Scars

Atrophic scars are common acne scars that appear as shallow indentations in the skin. They occur due to tissue loss during the healing process. These scars can vary in shape, often appearing as ice pick scars (deep and narrow) or boxcar scars (broad and shallow). Treatment can help restore skin texture and reduce visibility.

Hypertrophic Scars

Hypertrophic scars are raised, red or purple scars that develop when excess collagen is produced during the healing process. They tend to be more common in individuals with darker skin tones and typically remain within the original injury site. Laser treatments can effectively reduce their appearance, flattening and fading the scar tissue over time.

Keloid Scars

Keloid scars are large, raised and often extend beyond the original injury site. They are typically caused by excessive collagen production during the healing process and are more common in people with a family history of keloids. These scars can be uncomfortable and difficult to treat, but laser therapy offers a solution to reduce their size and visibility.
