Acne Scarring

Acne scarring occurs when the visible remnants of acne are permanently left on the skin after the acne itself subsides.

Acne scarring is caused by a variety of factors. When acne is produced on the skin as a response to sebum, the body may attempt to target the inflammation with white blood cells. Once the inflammation has subsided, however, the tissue may have yet to be fully repaired, and as such, scar tissue will show. Any colour change or skin defect still present after a year is considered to be a permanent defect or scar.

Some people are more prone to acne scars than others. Acne scars should be treated early, with dermatological consultation, to reduce their visibility and size later in life.

There are some topical skin care products and medications that can improve mild scarring, but most acne scars are treated with a combination of surgical procedures and skin resurfacing treatments such as Laser Skin Resurfacing, Microdermabrasion and Chemical Peels.
