Acne Scars

What are Acne Scars?

For some, their acne can result in acne scars. When an acne blemish causes inflammation, the acne pore will swell and the wall of the pore will breakdown. Sometimes, this breakdown of tissue will be small and the scars will heal fairly quickly, while other blemishes cause deeper scars.

Overall, there are two main types of acne scars:

• Scars that look like an indentation on the surface of the skin: Ice pick, rolling, and boxcar scarring.
• Scars that look raised on the surface of the skin: Hypertrophic or keloid scarring.

Individuals with lighter skin types may experience red marks or Post Inflammatory Erythema (PIE), darker skin types are more likely to experience dark spots or Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) acne scarring that remains long-term after acne has healed.

Reviews

Beautiful facility, easy parking, welcoming staff, and the woman who administered my treatment was informative, totally listened to my needs, goals, and fears, and did not make me feel like she was trying to upsell at all. I couldn't have been more impressed by my overall experience and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I love coming here. Everyone is extremely friendly and professional.
