Acne scars represent lasting indentations that emerge following a severe acne breakout on the skin. During such outbreaks, sizable pus-filled cysts form, eventually rupturing and releasing infected contents that affect surrounding healthy tissues. As the skin naturally repairs itself after the pore opens, a scar often remains, commonly referred to as an acne scar.


What causes Acne?
It all begins in the skin’s oil glands. The oils travel up a canal called a follicle (which also contains a hair) and empty onto the skin surface through the follicle’s opening, or pore.
The hair, oil and cells that line the narrow follicle can form a plug that blocks the pore, preventing oil from reaching the skin’s surface. This mix of oil and cells allows bacteria that normally live on the skin to grow in plugged follicles. The body’s defence system then moves to attack the bacteria and the area gets inflamed.

If the plug or blockage stays beneath the skin, it creates a white bump called a whitehead. If it reaches the surface of the skin and opens up, you get a blackhead. Both whiteheads and blackheads may stay in the skin for a long time. Eventually, the wall of the plugged follicle can break down, leading to pimples, or zits.

A key factor in acne is an increase in certain hormones during puberty. These hormones cause the oil glands to enlarge and produce more oil. Hormone changes related to pregnancy, the premenstrual phase, or stress – especially when internalised – can also cause acne."

Acne Scar Treatment Options
Various treatments exist to diminish the visibility of acne scars. Below are brief descriptions of some of these options:
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels offer promise in treating acne scars, although their efficacy may vary depending on the type of scar. Light, medium, or deep peels may be recommended based on the severity of the scars. Light peels can address superficial acne scars, while medium or deep peels are typically more suitable for moderate ones.
Radiofrequency Treatment (RFT) RFT for acne scars is a safe procedure where pulsed radio waves are directed through the skin's dermis to create microthermal wounds. This stimulation prompts collagen production, leading to dermal remodeling and a softening of acne scars.

Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a gentle treatment for acne scars that involves removing the skin's top layer using a handheld device. This reveals a fresh layer of skin underneath and encourages collagen and elastin production. It is most effective for depressed and flat acne scars but may not be suitable for ice-pick scars.
Fractional CO2 Laser Laser therapy, particularly Fractional CO2 Laser, is highly effective in removing acne scars, especially atrophic ones. This procedure utilizes a high-energy microscopic laser beam on the skin's surface to minimize acne scars and reveal a rejuvenated skin surface. While results are immediate, improvements can continue for up to 12 months.

Microneedling Also known as skin needling or derma rolling, microneedling is a successful method for treating acne scars. During the procedure, an expert uses a small, needle-studded handheld roller on the scar surface, puncturing the skin to stimulate collagen production and initiate healing.

FAQs

What causes sudden acne breakouts?

Acne can be triggered by various factors such as diet, hormonal changes, and the use of products containing ingredients unsuitable for your skin type. However, it's advisable to consult a dermatologist to determine the underlying cause.

How much does acne treatment cost?

The cost of acne treatment depends on the customized plan recommended by the doctor after a consultation, tailored to address your specific skin needs. The pricing will reflect the services outlined in your personalized treatment plan.

Is acne the same as pimples?

Pimples typically occur when the skin produces excess oil, leading to clogged pores filled with oil and dead skin cells. This environment fosters bacterial growth, resulting in redness and swelling. Acne, on the other hand, involves frequent breakouts with numerous pus-filled pimples and is a chronic condition, unlike isolated occurrences of pimples.
