Acne scars affect how you feel and how your skin reflects you, not just how you look. We know how annoying it can be to have a texture, indentation, or discoloration that won’t go away at NewDermaMed. We’re going deeper than just the surface in this guide. You’ll learn what acne scars are, why they form, how to pick the best treatment, and how you and your clinic can work together to get skin that looks smoother and healthier.
What Are Acne Scars and Why Do They Happen
What You Need to Know About Acne Scars
When acne breaks out, especially in deep or inflamed areas, the skin can change permanently in texture or colour as it heals. Changes in the skin’s surface, volume, or movement can cause acne scars.
In general, scars can look like this:
- Indented or atrophic scars happen when there is a loss of volume or collagen.
- Hypertrophic or keloid scars are raised scars that have too much collagen.
- Changes in colour or post-inflammatory marks (changes in pigmentation rather than deep textural changes).
What Makes Acne Scar to Form?
Acne causes inflammation below the skin’s surface. If the body makes too little or too much collagen while it heals, it can leave a permanent mark. Too little collagen can cause depressions, and too much collagen can cause raised scars.
Other contributing factors include genetics, skin type, severity and duration of acne, whether it was picked or manipulated, and how the skin healed afterward.
Before we suggest any treatment at NewDermaMed, we make sure to find out what kind of scar it is.
How to Get Rid of Acne Scars: A Look at Acne Scar Treatments at NewDermaMed
Step 1: Get a Professional Opinion and a Plan Just for You
Before any treatment starts, your skin will be carefully examined. This includes your acne history, the state of your skin right now, the type of scars you have, your skin tone, and your way of life.
At NewDermaMed, we make treatment plans that are unique to each patient. These plans may include one or more therapies, depending on the type of scar, how much time you want to spend recovering, and your goals.
Step 2: Help at Home and on the Skin
In-clinic procedures are important, but excellent skincare is the most important thing. To make your skin look better, use products that contain retinoids, vitamin C, and AHAs or BHAs. Put on sunscreen every day to keep scars from getting darker or changing colours. Don’t pick at or squeeze acne lesions; this can make scars worse. To help your skin respond better to professional treatments, you need to do these things.
Step 3: Treatments for Acne Scars in the Clinic
Chemical Peels and Micro Abrasion
Chemical peels and microdermabrasion are examples of superficial to mid-depth treatments that can help smooth out rough skin and lighten dark spots. But for scars that are deeper, more advanced treatments are usually needed.
Microneedling or Radiofrequency Needling
Microneedling makes small controlled injuries to the skin to boost collagen production. This is beneficial for scars that are indented or atrophic. It makes skin tightening and deeper rejuvenation better when used with radiofrequency energy.
Fillers and Subcision
For deep rolling scars, subcision breaks up the fibrous scar tissue that is below the surface. Thereafter, you can use dermal fillers to lift scars that are depressed so they look smoother.
Treatments with Lasers and Light
Laser and fractional resurfacing are two of the best ways to make skin feel smoother, boost collagen, and fix rough spots. For safe and best results, different lasers may be used depending on your skin type.
Step 4: Keeping It Up and Having Realistic Expectations
It’s important to know that no treatment will get rid of scars right away, and getting rid of them completely is very rare. The goal is a big clear change for the better.
For best results, you may need to have several sessions spaced out over a few weeks. Taking good care of your skin at home, protecting it from the sun, and not getting new acne breakouts will help keep the progress you’ve made with your treatments.
