Acne Scar Treatment

Skin rituals

Acne scars are a common concern for individuals who have experienced severe or long-lasting acne. These scars can range from deep depressions to raised bumps and can significantly impact the skin’s texture and appearance. At Skin Rituals Aesthetic Clinic, we offer advanced, personalized treatments to reduce the appearance of acne scars, restore smoothness, and improve skin tone. Whether you have mild scarring or deep, pitted scars, our expert dermatologists can help you achieve clearer, more even skin.

What Causes Acne Scars?

 

Acne scars form when the skin’s tissue is damaged during the healing process of acne lesions. The severity and type of scarring depend on how deep the inflammation goes within the skin. There are two primary types of acne scars:

  • Atrophic Scars: These are depressed scars that occur due to a loss of tissue. Common types include ice-pick scars, boxcar scars, and rolling scars.

  • Hypertrophic/Keloid Scars: These raised scars occur due to excess collagen production during the healing process, resulting in lumpy or bumpy scar tissue.

Treatment Options for Acne Scars:

 

1) Laser Resurfacing

  • How It Works: Laser resurfacing removes damaged skin layers and stimulates collagen production, which helps smooth the skin and reduce the appearance of acne scars. Fractional lasers target small areas of the skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact, promoting faster healing.

  • Benefits: Laser resurfacing is highly effective for treating deep scars, such as ice-pick and boxcar scars. It improves skin texture and tone, with results improving over time as collagen production increases.

2) Microneedling

  • How It Works: Microneedling uses fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulates collagen and elastin production. This process helps the skin heal and smooth out depressed scars.

  • Benefits: Microneedling is an effective treatment for all types of atrophic scars and improves overall skin texture. Results improve gradually over multiple sessions.

3) Chemical Peels

  • How It Works: Chemical peels use a specially formulated solution to exfoliate the top layers of skin, promoting the regeneration of new, healthy skin. Chemical peels can improve the appearance of superficial acne scars and reduce post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

  • Benefits: Chemical peels are ideal for treating mild to moderate acne scars and can be customized for your skin type and condition.

4) Subcision

  • How It Works: Subcision is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat rolling scars. A small needle is inserted beneath the skin to break up the fibrous bands pulling the scar down, allowing the skin to rise and smooth out.

  • Benefits: Subcision is highly effective for improving the appearance of rolling scars and can be combined with other treatments for optimal results.

5) Dermal Fillers

  • How It Works: Dermal fillers are injected into depressed scars to plump the skin and create a smoother surface. Hyaluronic acid fillers are commonly used for this treatment.

  • Benefits: Fillers provide immediate results and are ideal for treating boxcar and rolling scars. The effects typically last 6 to 12 months, and regular treatments can help maintain smooth skin.

6) Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

  • How It Works: PRP therapy involves using your body’s own platelets to stimulate collagen production and accelerate the skin’s healing process. PRP is often combined with microneedling to enhance its effectiveness.

  • Benefits: PRP boosts collagen production, improves skin texture, and reduces the appearance of acne scars. It also promotes overall skin rejuvenation.

6) Fractional Radiofrequency (RF) Skin Tightening

  • How It Works: RF skin tightening uses heat to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin, helping to improve the appearance of depressed scars and firming loose skin around scarred areas.

  • Benefits: RF treatment is non-invasive and provides gradual, long-lasting improvements in acne scars and skin texture.
