Reduce acne scarring once and for all!

Acne results in spots forming on the face, shoulders, chest and back and it can leave scars that can be treated at Laser Skin Pro.

Acne scars result when acne breakouts penetrate the deeper section of the skin and the underlying tissues. The body tries to repair the damage, thereby leaving a scar. Collagen is produced by the body when it tries to heal acne—a small or large amount of collagen produced for healing acne results in scar formation.

This type of scar is related to the type of collagen form.


Depressed acne scars: Depressions or pits are formed due to little collagen production.
Raised acne scars: Too much production of collagen to heal acne will lead to the formation of raised acne scars. This type of acne scar is prevalent among the people of African Americans, Asians, and Hispanics.

​

We will examine your skin to identify the causes and symptoms of acne scars during a consultation. Then, we will create a program for you based on the type of your scar and the part of the body that the scar is before creating this program.

Causes of Acne Scars

Most people could see acne scars when they finally treat the acne on their body. This risk of getting acne scars may increase when the person:
 

- Has inflammatory (reddish, swollen, and painful) acne.

They may be acne cysts and nodules. This is the type of acne that penetrates the deeper part of the skin and causes damage to the skin.
 

- Reluctant in treating inflammatory acne.

The more time you leave the inflammatory acne, the higher the risk of becoming an acne scar. Picks, squeezes, or pops acne. This also increases inflammation, which, in turn, increases the risk of forming a scar.
 

- Has a family member who developed acne scars.

There is some form of genetic involvement in acne scar formation.


Predicting who will develop acne scars is a difficult task. Even if we now know the risk factors for developing acne scars. Those who are said to be at risk may not develop acne scars.


It is possible to prevent acne scars by treating acne effectively. Do not wait until acne becomes severe before you get it treated, and it might lead to severe scarring.
