How Does Acne Scarring Occur?

Acne occurs due to a buildup of bacteria in our pores. Some of us are unfortunate enough to have worse acne than others due to our hormones. While most people tend to struggle with occasional zits, others can experience aggressive flare-ups. Acne scarring forms when our bodies rapidly release collagen to counteract these flare-ups. As a result of this rapid release, our skin becomes thicker and less flexible, giving it that characteristic bumpy texture.

Types of Acne Scars

There are three main types or categories of acne scars: atrophic scars (depressed acne scars), hypertrophic scars (raised acne scars), and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. They each have their own characteristics.

Atrophic acne scars

Atrophic scars are depressed acne scars and can look a variety of different ways. Some of the most common atrophic acne scars include rolling scars, ice pick scars, and boxcar scars. Ice pick scars are usually the deepest acne scars of the three.

Hypertrophic scars

Hypertrophic scars or raised acne scars are just what they sound like. They are raised above the skin. The main type is keloid scars, which are abnormal growths of scar tissue that can extend beyond the original wound.

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)

PIH is another type of acne scar that leaves small brown marks on the skin in the areas where there you once had acne.

What Are the Signs?

Having a lot of acne scarring can be hard to ignore. Scars can often be accompanied by the appearance of whiteheads, blackheads, uneven skin texture, and tender lumps. These concerns are not only hard to look at but can be painful as well. If you’re struggling with acne and acne scarring, our team at SkinMD is happy to help.

MEET THE TEAM

Skin MD has a beautiful atmosphere, friendly staff, affordable pricing, and any treatment your skin needs. I received the Venus Legacy treatment (a collagen-boosting treatment) from Shannon and had a wonderful experience. Not only was it like a warm massage for my face, but this treatment gave IMMEDIATE plumping, increased blood circulation, and made my skin glow! I will definitely be coming back for all my skin needs and medical-grade skin care. I recommend it to everyone!

~ Skyla M.

The staff are so welcoming and comforting. They take time to listen to your needs and they do not pressure you into doing anything you don't want to do. They also take time to explain the process and their decision making to you so that you have all the facts.

~ Lauren M.

Friendly, fast, and professional service at the highest quality. Really impressed with the results of their services, and my technician is very knowledgeable and helpful when I have any questions. They made sure I was fully educated on the services I received and perform check-ins to ensure my skin heals properly. Also, the most convenient location in Back Bay!

~ Jules B.

I cannot say enough great things about this SkinMD. The staff was amazing, and their services are amazing. I am so, so happy with how my nose came out, and I am now a lifetime customer of SkinMD and will be recommending SkinMD to everyone I know.
