Acne Scarring Or Surgical Scarring

What Is Acne Scarring or Surgical Scarring?

Acne and surgical scars occur when skin healing leaves behind uneven texture or pigmentation. These scars may range from mild to severe and can affect one’s confidence. Various treatments can smooth and reduce the appearance of scars. Scars form when collagen builds up in the healing process, sometimes resulting in raised or indented marks. Addressing these scars with targeted therapies can help restore skin’s natural texture and boost self-confidence.

What Are the Causes of Acne Scarring or Surgical Scarring?

Skin Trauma: Injury to the skin from acne or surgery often results in scarring.
Inflammation: Severe inflammation can damage deeper layers, causing scars.
Delayed Treatment: Untreated acne or surgical wounds may lead to noticeable scars.
Genetics: Some people are more likely to scar due to their skin type.
Sun Exposure: UV rays can darken and worsen the appearance of scars.
