Acne scarring refers to the lasting marks or dents left on the skin after acne has healed, usually caused by deep or inflamed breakouts.
Condition
Acne Scarring
Overview
While any type of acne can lead to scarring, it is more commonly associated with severe forms like nodules and cysts, which can rupture and damage the surrounding skin.
Some individuals may experience post-inflammatory pigmentation—dark or light spots left behind after blemishes heal—while others may develop pitted scars, resulting in an uneven or dimpled skin texture.
Types of Acne Scarring
There are three main types of acne scars:
- Ice pick scars: Small, deep punctures in the skin.
- Box scars: Oval or round indentations.
- Rolling scars: Cause the skin to appear uneven or have a wavy texture
Acne scars rarely fade on their own, and effective treatment can only begin once active acne is fully controlled. We offer a range of treatment options tailored to your individual skin needs, which may include a combination of advanced therapies.
To determine the most suitable approach, we recommend our Comprehensive facial VISIA skin analysis consultation featuring the VISIA skin scanner—designed to assess your skin in detail and create a personalized treatment plan that works best for you.
