Acne Scar Treatment
Acne scars can be frustrating, lingering long after your skin has cleared up. These scars can impact your confidence and skin’s appearance. LaseMD Ultra, an advanced non-invasive laser treatment, offers a powerful solution to rejuvenate your skin and significantly reduce acne scars, revealing a smoother complexion.
What Are Acne Scars?
Acne scars are the marks left behind after severe or prolonged acne. When breakouts penetrate deeply into the skin, they can damage the tissue beneath, leading to scars. The healing process of the skin determines the type of scar that forms, with common types including:
- Atrophic scars. These scars are characterized by small depressions or indentations in the skin, often caused by a loss of collagen during the acne-healing process. The lack of collagen results in skin that doesn’t fully regenerate, leaving behind pitted or sunken areas.
- Hypertrophic scars. Unlike atrophic scars, hypertrophic scars are raised and form due to an overproduction of collagen during healing. The skin generates excess tissue, causing the scar to protrude above the skin’s surface.
- Keloid scars. A more severe form of hypertrophic scarring, keloid scars expand beyond the original area of acne. These scars are also raised but can grow significantly larger than the initial wound, often resulting in thick, rubbery areas of scar tissue that may be uncomfortable.
Causes of Acne Scars
Several factors contribute to acne scars, and understanding these can help in managing your skin better:
- Inflammation. The more inflamed a breakout, the higher the risk of scarring. Deep cystic acne often causes the most severe scars.
- Delay in Treatment. Leaving acne untreated for a prolonged period can increase the chances of developing scars.
- Picking at Acne. Squeezing or popping pimples interrupts the skin’s healing process and leads to scar formation.
- Genetics. Some individuals are more prone to scarring based on their skin type and family history.
Acne scars can seem challenging to treat, but LaseMD Ultra offers a cutting-edge solution.
