Understanding Acne Scarring

Acne scarring occurs in the dermis and results from inflammation, which damages collagen in the skin, leading to permanent textural changes. Sometimes, people refer to color changes that persist for months after an acne lesion has healed as scarring. Acne scarring can vary, ranging from red blemishes to indented scars. Hydra Facial

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are scars? –

Scars are fibrous tissue that replaces normal skin after injury, resulting from the wound repair process in the skin and other tissues of the body.

2. What causes acne scarring? –

Acne scars form as a reaction to inflammation and infection in the skin caused by acne. Tissue is destroyed during the inflammatory process, and a reaction called fibrosis occurs, leading to changes in the skin’s texture.

3. Are there different types of acne scarring? –

Yes, acne scarring can take various forms, including ice pick scarring, boxcar scarring, rolling scarring, and hypertrophic scarring (keloid scarring).

4. What causes the dark spots around my acne lesions? –

Inflammation caused by acne can lead to redness and stimulate the production of the pigment molecule melanin, resulting in brown or black discoloration. Chemical peels, ActiveFX DeepFX Laser Resurfacing, or lightning products can effectively address this discoloration.

5. What acne scar treatment options are available? –

The Laser and Skin Clinic offers the latest technology for the treatment of acne scarring, including Laser Resurfacing, Affirm Laser Rejuvenation, Dermapen Micro-needling, Chemical Peels and Hair Restoration Treatment.

6. How does the fractional laser treat acne scarring? –

Ablative and non-ablative fractional lasers like ActiveFX Laser Resurfacing and Affirm Laser Rejuvenation are highly effective acne scar treatments. They work by creating tiny perforations in the skin, stimulating collagen production, and promoting skin healing.Hydra Facial

7. Why are fewer treatments required with Active DeepFX Ablative Laser compared to Affirm Non-Ablative Fractional Laser? –

Active DeepFX penetrates deeper into the skin and requires more recovery time, while the Affirm laser has little downtime, requiring more treatments for optimal results.

8. What other treatment options are available for those who cannot take time off work to recover? –

For minimal downtime, options like Dermapen micro-needling and Affirm Laser Rejuvenation are recommended. These treatments can provide dramatic results and improve the appearance of acne scars.

9. How many Dermapen treatments will I need to notice an improvement?

Typically, a recommended treatment course of 6 treatments is necessary to achieve the best result.

10. Can Chemical Peels improve the appearance of acne scars? –

Yes, chemical peels are effective for improving superficial scarring and treating discoloration associated with acne scarring.

11. How can Platelet Rich Plasma treat acne scarring? –

Platelet-rich plasma treatments can naturally accelerate normal healing and tissue repair, making them effective for treating scars and improving skin tone.

12. Can topical Vitamin A reduce the appearance of acne scars? –

Topical Vitamin A can help improve mild acne scars by stimulating cell turnover and collagen production in the skin. It can also assist in removing the pigment associated with acne scars.
