Acne scarring

Texture left behind after inflammation has gone.

What is happening

Marks that stayed

Inflammatory acne can damage deeper skin tissue, and as it heals, uneven collagen production may leave indented or raised scars. Microneedling and laser are used to help stimulate new collagen and improve texture.

Why it happens

Inflammatory acne can damage the skin's deeper tissue; as it heals, uneven collagen production may leave indented or raised scars.

When acne disrupts collagen, the skin may heal with too little or too much, leaving indented or raised scars.

When inflammatory acne isn't treated promptly, ongoing inflammation can damage deeper skin tissue and raise the risk of lasting scars.

Scars are treated as architecture in the skin, not as a cosmetic afterthought.
