Acne scarring refers to lasting marks or indentations on the skin resulting from severe or persistent acne. It often occurs when individuals squeeze pimples or pick at scabs, leading to permanent skin damage. The scars can take various forms, and the appropriate treatment depends on the severity of scarring and individual concerns. The types of acne scarring include ​enlarged pores, red marks from active and previous acne, pigmentation, mild indentation, pitted scarring, and ice pick scarring.

To improve the appearance of acne scars at home, consider incorporating topical treatments like vitamin C and retinoids, using sunscreen for sun protection, and avoiding picking at the scars. For a more comprehensive and targeted approach to address your unique concerns, we recommended booking a skin consultation. Consistency with these in-clinic treatments is key in achieving lasting improvements in the appearance of acne scars.
