Let’s work together to help you regain your smooth, blemish-free complexion.

Understanding the Roots of Acne Scars

What Causes Acne Scars?

Acne scars often result from the inflammatory nature of acne breakouts. When excess oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria clog your skin’s pores, it can lead to various forms of acne, from mild pimples to deeper cysts. Once these lesions heal, they may leave behind scars.

Diagnosing Acne Scars

To address acne scars effectively, it’s vital to understand their type and severity. A professional diagnosis is your first step towards choosing the right treatment. At Cosmocity Clinic, our experienced dermatologists will accurately assess your scars and create a customized treatment plan.

Exploring Types of Acne Scars

Atrophic Scars: These are characterized by depressions or pits in the skin and include subtypes like icepick, boxcar, and rolling scars.

Hypertrophic Scars: Raised and thickened scars, typically seen in more severe acne cases.

Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): These are dark spots left behind after acne lesions heal, not technically scars, but they can be just as distressing.

Your Path to Smoother Skin

Cosmocity Clinic offers a range of effective treatment options to address your specific acne scars:

Topical Solutions: Our doctor may recommend topical treatments like retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids, or topical steroids to improve mild acne scars and encourage skin cell turnover.

Laser Therapy: Advanced laser treatments, including fractional laser, can target scarred areas, stimulating collagen production and reducing the appearance of scars.

Dermal Fillers: For atrophic scars, injectable fillers can temporarily fill in depressions and create a smoother skin texture.

Microneedling: This minimally invasive procedure utilizes tiny needles to boost collagen production, making a significant difference in the appearance of acne scars.
