What causes acne scars?
Acne results from clogged hair follicles. Regular pollution leads to the accumulation of oil, dirt, and dead skin cells on the skin surface that clog the pores and create small, localized infections, called acne.
Regular breakouts as a teenager or as an adult may result in severe acne scars, based on the healing process of the skin. The risk of developing acne scars is higher when:
- Your severe breakouts consist of nodules and cysts.
- You have inflammatory acne.
- You popped, picked, and squeezed the acne.
- When acne and acne scars run in your family.
If you’ve been through or going through any of these scenarios, your acne scars are serious and need acne scars removal treatment from professional dermatologists at Image Clinic.
What are the different types of acne?
Generally, there are two types of acne scars: atrophic (depressed) and hypertrophic (elevated).
The type of acne you get depends on the collagen level of the skin and the healing power of the skin after a breakout.
Other than these two types of acne scars, dermatologists at Image Clinic further subdivides atrophic (depressed) acne into 3 different types:
- Rolling Scars where the pit on the skin has a swelling appearance and round margins with a diameter of approximately 5mm.
- Ice pick scars where the acne has sharp margins and narrow, vertical scars with a diameter of 2mm or less.
- Boxcar scars are more like an extensive form of rolling acne with wider margins and widths ranging from 1.5mm to 4mm.
Hypertrophic (elevated) acne are also known as keloids and only 10% of the acne scars we come across are hypertrophic.
How does laser treatment for acne scars work?
At Image Clinic, we take extra care and precautions when using laser treatment for acne scars.
Our expert dermatologists use high-intensity laser-focused light energy to treat the scarred tissues. The deeper layers of the skin absorb the heat generated by the laser beam and stimulate fibroblast cells which increases the production of collagen in the skin.
This helps to treat the damaged tissues and remodel the scar tissues – which in turn reduces the appearance of the scars and improves the texture of the skin.
Our acne scars removal treatment is used on all types of post-acne scars and also treats scars left from chickenpox.
Depending on the case and the condition, our dermatologists may recommend laser treatment for acne scars as a standalone treatment or can even couple it with acne scars removal treatments for better results.
