What is Acne Scars?

Acne scars are permanent changes in skin texture that remain after acne has healed. They occur when the deeper layers of the skin are damaged by inflammatory acne. The body's wound-healing response creates either too much (hypertrophic) or too little (atrophic) collagen, resulting in raised or depressed scars.

Causes & Symptoms of Acne Scars

Causes

  • 1. Severe inflammatory acne (cysts, nodules)
  • 2. Picking or squeezing spots
  • 3. Delayed or inadequate acne treatment
  • 4. Genetic predisposition to scarring
  • 5. Repeated breakouts in the same area

Symptoms

  • Ice pick scars — deep, narrow, pitted scars
  • Boxcar scars — broad, rectangular depressions with sharp edges
  • Rolling scars — wide, shallow indentations with smooth edges
  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark marks)
  • Post-inflammatory erythema (persistent redness)
  • Uneven skin texture

This depends on the type of scarring. During consultation, we assess your scars and recommend the most effective treatment plan.
