Acne scars not only the skin, but damages a person’s confidence and sense of well-being as well. First we treat the acne and bring it under control; then we determine a treatment plan for
the scarring left by the acne.
The skin is the largest organ of the body containing glands, blood vessels and acting as a barrier between our inner selves and the contaminants circulating in our environment. Acne is an
inflammatory condition which can progressively damage this skin layer. Following the inflammatory phase, acne scarring can develop when new protein/skin develops within the healing acne lesion resulting in the disfigurement of the skin surface. Acne scars can look like small holes as if from an ice pick or crater like scars.
The treatment of acne facial scarring can be influenced by the :
- patient’s age, overall health, medical history
- severity of the scarring
- type of scar
- presence of any active acne
- realistic expectations of the outcome of acne scarring improvement
