What is Acne Scars?
Acne scars are permanent textural changes and indentations that occur on the skin due to severe acne. As dermatologists, we recognize that these scars are not only a cosmetic concern but can also deeply affect a patient’s self-confidence and emotional well-being.
What's Included
Types of Acne Scars
- Atrophic Scars: Depressed scars due to loss of tissue. These include:
- Ice pick scars: Deep and narrow pitted scars.
- Boxcar scars: Broad, rectangular depressions with sharp edges.
- Rolling scars: Wave-like undulations due to tethered skin.
- Hypertrophic/Keloid Scars: Raised, thickened scars caused by excessive collagen production, more common on the chest, shoulders, and jawline.
Treatment Options
- Microneedling: Stimulates collagen to improve texture.
