What are Acne Scars?
Acne scars are marks or indentations left on the skin after severe acne has healed. They result from the body’s natural healing process, where collagen production is disrupted during the inflammatory response to acne.
Several factors can contribute to the formation of these scars:
Inflammation
Inflammatory acne, such as papules, pustules, and cysts, can lead to tissue damage and scarring.
Delayed healing
Acne lesions that take longer to heal are more likely to leave scars.
Manipulation
Picking, squeezing, or popping acne lesions can increase inflammation and worsen scarring.
Genetics
Some individuals may be genetically predisposed to developing more severe scarring.
Skin type
People with naturally oily skin or darker skin tones are more prone to scarring.
Severity of acne
Severe acne, including nodules and cysts, is more likely to result in scarring compared to mild or moderate forms.
It’s essential to treat acne promptly and effectively to minimise the risk of scarring. Seeking professional advice from a dermatologist can help prevent and manage acne scars effectively.

Microneedling
