All you need to know about Acne Scar Removal
Acne Scars are formed when an acne breakout penetrates the skin deeply and also damages the tissues under it. Acne scars appear as a result of inflamed blemishes caused by skin pores engorged with excess oil, dead skin cells and bacteria, also known as acne. Shallow acne heals quickly, but in cases where the acne is deep, the scars are deeper as the skin attempts to repair these scars but the repairs usually aren’t as smooth and flawless as the original skin.
There are two main types of acne scars:
1. Hypertrophic or keloid scarring:
Hypertrophic scarring appears raised and scaly on the skin’s surface. As acne wounds heal, the body produces too much collagen.
2. Atrophic or depressed scarring:
Atrophic scars develop when there is a loss of tissue in the skin. There are two common types of atrophic scarring. “Icepick” scars are small and obvious holes in the skin, whereas “Boxcar” scars are depressed round or oval in shaped scars and appear similar to chickenpox scars.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why get Acne Treatment?
Acne Scars are permanent marks on the skin and do not heal very quickly. Once healed, these leave lesions or scars making the skin appear cratered. Getting a treatment done according to the type of scars one is suffering from, can help in smoothening the skin and getting rid of the scars. Acne scars also cause serious self-confidence issues and result in people finding it difficult to regain self-belief.
When to see a Dermatologist?
It is advisable to consult with a dermatologist once the acne breakout has resulted in permanent scars. Scars are different from spots as spots appear discolored and usually heal soon, however, scars tend to stay longer and can also become permanent. If the skin has not healed naturally, and you feel that it appears bumpy and cratered, you must consult with a Certified Dermatologist at Derma Grace in order to regain your smooth and soft skin.
How can it be treated?
Laser Resurfacing: In this procedure, the laser removes the damaged top layer of the skin and tightens the middle layer and leaves the skin smoother.
Dermabrasion: In this treatment, a rotating wire brush wears down the surface of the skin, once the skin heals, the abraded skin is replaced by a smoother layer.
Is the treatment painful?
