What Causes Acne Scars?

Acne scars are a result of inflamed pimples or blemishes where skin pores get clogged with excess oil, dead skin, and bacteria. When these pores swell, they can cause a break in the follicle wall. If the rupture is deep, infected material can damage nearby tissue, creating deep scars. Your skin tries to heal by producing collagen, and the result is scarring.

Types of Acne Scars

Atrophic Scars

These are the most common type and appear as depressions in the skin:

• Ice Pick Scars: Deep and narrow, like tiny pits.

• Boxcar Scars: Broad, well-defined depressions.

• Rolling Scars: Shallow, with a wave-like appearance.

Hypertrophic Scars

These are raised scars that remain within the area of the original acne wound.

Keloid Scars

These are similar to hypertrophic scars but grow beyond the boundary of the original blemish, often becoming larger over time.

Effective Treatments for Acne Scars

We offer a range of advanced and personalized acne scar treatments at our clinic in Prayagraj:

🔹 Chemical Peels

🔹 Microneedling

A treatment that uses fine needles to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture.

🔹 Laser Therapy
