What Are Acne Scars?

Acne scars develop when inflammation from acne damages the skin and interferes with its normal healing process. True acne scars involve a change in the skin’s texture and may appear as depressions or, less commonly, as raised scars.

Some changes after acne are not true scars. Flat red, pink or brown marks may be post-inflammatory redness or pigmentation and require a different approach.

What Type of Acne Scar Do You Have?

Identifying the scar type helps select the most appropriate treatment. Different types of scars may also be present in the same patient.

⌵

Ice-pick scars

Small, narrow and relatively deep depressions.

⌞⌟

Boxcar scars

Wider depressions with more defined edges.

≋

Rolling scars

Broad, shallow depressions that give the skin an uneven appearance.

⌒

Raised scars

Some patients develop hypertrophic or keloid-type scars rather than depressed scars.

How Can Laser Improve Acne Scars?

Laser treatment delivers controlled energy into selected layers of the skin. This stimulates the skin’s natural repair and remodeling response, including new collagen production. Over time, collagen remodeling can help improve skin texture and make suitable acne scars appear less noticeable,( Collagen Formation takes time ,so improvement is generally progressive rather then immediate).
