Acne scars are a common result of past inflammation and can affect skin texture, tone, and overall smoothness. While scars develop over time, a personalized approach can help improve their appearance and support healthier-looking skin.
Acne scars are textural or pigment changes that remain after active acne has healed. They may appear as shallow depressions, uneven texture, or discolored marks on the skin.
Scarring varies widely depending on the type of acne, skin type, and how the skin healed during active breakouts.
Acne scars form when inflammation damages the skin’s deeper layers, disrupting collagen production during the healing process. Picking, prolonged inflammation, and delayed treatment can increase the likelihood of scarring.
Because scarring affects both the surface and underlying structure of the skin, effective treatment often requires addressing more than just the top layer.
