What Is Acne Scarring?
Acne often leads to scarring, particularly in teenagers and young adults. Various treatment options exist, but to effectively treat these scars, it’s crucial to identify their specific type.
Acne Scarring
Acne is an inflammatory condition that can lead to fibrosis, resulting in thickened and scarred connective tissue, known as acne scars. About 30% of individuals with acne will encounter some level of scarring.
The severity and duration of active acne directly correlate with the extent of the scarring. Early intervention in treating active acne can significantly reduce the risk of developing scar tissue.
Acne Scarring Treatment
At Cosmetic & Veins Clinic, we customise acne scar treatments based on your specific type of scar. Natural reduction over time is often incomplete without intervention, so treatments can make a big difference to people’s confidence.
Laser Skin Resurfacing is a highly effective non-ablative treatment specifically designed to address acne scars, particularly on the cheeks. By creating controlled micro-damage deep into the dermis, the procedure stimulates the skin’s natural healing process. This healing response boosts collagen production, resulting in a smoother and improved skin texture.
For the treatment of boxcar and ice pick scars, subcision or dermal fillers are often suggested. Subcision involves mechanically disrupting the fibrous bands that pull the skin down, effectively releasing the tension.
To determine the most effective treatment for you, book a consultation with one of our experienced medical professionals at Cosmetic & Veins Clinic.
