Understanding the condition

What are Acne Scars?

This is a common dermal condition that appears after severe facial spots subside. It occurs when deep layers of your skin sustain severe trauma from inflammation. As a result, this damage leaves behind permanent surface indentations or raised tissue marks.

There are different types of this condition, such as:

Atrophic scars

Characterised by indented tissue. They form when there is a severe loss of collagen. We can divide these into three specific forms: ice pick scars (narrow and deep), rolled scars (broad, wavy depressions), and boxcar scars (wide depressions with sharp edges).

Hypertrophic scars

These are raised, firm marks. They develop due to an overproduction of collagen while the tissue attempts to repair itself.

Keloid scars

A much more severe form of raised tissue that extends far beyond the original spot boundary.

Root factors

What Causes Acne Scars?

Severe Inflammation

Deep, inflamed spots traumatise the lower dermal tissue heavily, which makes severe marks much more likely to form.

Squeezed Spots

When you attempt to extract or burst a spot manually, you disrupt the natural repair process and cause severe tissue trauma.

Delayed Care

If you fail to seek professional medical help early, severe breakouts persist and cause permanent damage to your face.

Genetics and Skin Type

Some individuals have a natural predisposition to severe marks. Furthermore, oily complexions often experience more severe breakouts.

Signs to look for

Symptoms of Acne Scars

A past breakout can leave several noticeable signs on your face:

  • Ice pick marksDeep, narrow puncture pits.
  • Boxcar marksBroad, sharp-edged depressions.
  • Rolled marksWavy surface depressions.
  • Raised tissueFirm, raised collagen bumps.
  • Dark marksPersistent dark or red areas.

How to Prevent Acne Scars?

Here are some simple tips to help protect your skin:

01

Seek early medical help

Treat severe breakouts quickly to prevent deep tissue damage.

02

Avoid facial touches

You must never burst, squeeze, or touch your spots. This action spreads bacteria and tears the delicate dermal layers.

03

Maintain a routine

Use premium, non-comedogenic formulas to keep your pores clear and prevent future breakouts.
