It can be tempting to squeeze that breakout, but it's better not to. Acne can leave behind the scars on one's skin which are even more difficult to treat than the acne itself. When the acne inflammation is left untreated, it keeps on eroding the skin layers completely. Acne doesn't just superficially affect one's appearance but it digs deep into the skin. Acne bacteria keeps spreading the infection which leads to acne scars.

If one has already crossed the phase of active acne and is just very depressed with the acne scars, then they can visit Soul Derma Clinic to achieve a complete solution to it.
Types of Acne Scars
Different kinds of acne leave distinct scars, so it is important to know the types of acne scars.
Acne scars fall into two major categories:
- Atrophic scars
As the name suggests, they are depressed scars. Atrophic scars are caused by the loss of tissue forming depression in the skin.
2. Hypertrophic scars
As the name suggests, they are raised scars. Hypertrophic scars are caused by an excess of the skin tissue. Sometimes skin becomes overactive when the acne heals and it produces too many cells, though that skin is very weak but it produces more of the skin which are hypertrophic scars.
The acne scars can also be classified according to their appearance:
- Ice Pick Scars
These are narrow & V-shaped scars. Ice pick scars can go deep into the skin. This type of scar is the most difficult to treat.
2. Boxcar Scars
They are wide and U-shaped scars. They are broad rectangular depressions with defined edges. They can be shallow or deep.
3. Rolling Scars
These are wide with rounded edges and an irregular, rolling appearance.
4. Keloid Scars/Raised Scars
They appear after the acne on the chest and back has healed. Caused by excess collagen production they stand above the surface of the surrounding skin.
In some cases, acne scars may also lead to:
- Hyperpigmentation
- Discoloration on the affected area after a pimple has cleared.
Advanced Dermatology can help one get rid of these acne scars.
- Retin-oids
Retin-oids are the chemical compounds that are similar to Vitamin A. It is found in many skin-care products used to reduce acne. It can regulate the body's surface cell growth & has scar-smoothing properties. Use of Sunscreen is essential if serums with retinoid are applied daily.
- Microdermabrasion
It deeply exfoliates the upper layer of the skin. Effective & a common treatment for facial scars. It can reduce shallow boxcar & rolling scars. Deeper scars become less visible. Also, it helps in reducing post-acne discoloration and pigmentation
- Chemical peels
A chemical peel removes the top layer of the skin to reduce deeper scars as well as discoloration and hyperpigmentation.
- Laser resurfacing
The top layer of skin sheds off. Patients with active acne should avoid laser resurfacing. Works best on lighter skin tones and works very well for darker skin tones with few precautions. It is effective for all types of acne scars.
- Dermal Fillers
Fillers can be used to fill in the acne scars. The filler solution injected plumps up the skin & evens out the surface. Patients with less number of the boxcar and rolling scar can go for the filler injection treatment.
- Microneedling
New alternative treatment that stimulates the new collagen production. Works by creating a small injury, leading to collagen and elastin production. Improves scars and reduces hyperpigmentation.
These acne scars treatments offer promising results. Though they may take some time to be visible, it may be 4-5 weeks after every sitting.
