What Are Acne Scars?
Acne scarring is caused by harm to the skin's connective tissue, which is composed of collagen and elastin present in the skin's middle layer, called the dermis. This surrounding connective tissue can be damaged when an inflamed acne pore bursts, causing scarring.
Common Causes of Acne Scars
Inflammation: Heavy inflammation of acne causes destruction to the skin's connective tissue, which may result in scars. That is fairly common in cystic or nodular acne.
Late Treatment: Late treatment of acne may have some worse effects and increase the chances of scarring.
Picking or Squeezing: Physical picking or squeezing acne can make it even inflamed, and more bacteria can be pushed into pores and drive the inflammatory response, which may increase scar formation.
Genetics: There are some people who may be predisposed to have more scarring after acne due to genetic differences in the healing of the skin and synthesis of collagen.
Skin Type and Skin Tone: Scarring can appear to be worse in individuals who have darker skin tones or softer skin. Variations in pigmentation plus variations in responses to healing are pertinent factors.
Improper Care: The application of harsh or wrong skincare products irritates the skin and may promote worsening scarring, especially if the barrier is compromised.
Understanding these causes can help in taking preventive measures and seeking appropriate treatment to minimize acne scarring.
Types of Acne Scars:
Pitted Scars: The deep and narrow Ice-pick scars, the shallow with slanted edges Rolling scars, and the wide with sharp edges Boxcar scars. These happen because of the failure of skin connective tissue to repair itself after an injury, leaving depressions in the skin.
Hypertrophic Scars: These are raised scars that result from the overproduction of collagen during wound healing. This causes the elevation of the skin.
Acne scars might be mild, moderate, or even severe; to a great extent, they may also be related to redness or even pigmentation. Such scars can be medically treated in Mumbai. Treatment will help in the reversal of the appearance and texture of the skin.

Dermal Filling: Dermal fillers are injectables adding volume to depressed acne scars, hence smoothening the skin. Especially, it works well in deep atrophic scars. Its effect is immediate and can last for 6 months up to 2 years, depending on the type of filler used.
Microneedling: Microneedling uses fine needles to create micro-trauma to the skin, which over-stimulates the skin into overdrive, thereby producing collagen and elastin that smoothen the texture of the skin. It develops a better texture of the skin with a reduction in acne scars over a number of sittings. Good for both superficial and deep scars.
Chemical Peels: The procedure in which acidic solutions remove the superficial layers of damaged skin to grow a new, healthy layer of skin. VLCC Golden peel and Mango peel are also quite effective in the treatment of superficial scars and improvement in the tone and texture of skin.
Laser Treatment: The concentrated light improves scar tissue through stimulation of collagen production. It is effective for both pitted and raised scars, thus improving texture and appearance. For an effective outcome, it may require multiple sessions.
PRP Therapy for Acne Scars: PRP treats acne scars using one's blood. After drawing a small volume of blood, this is processed to extract the PRP, which contains growth factors and healing proteins at a high level.
The plasma is then injected into the scar tissue or applied after microneedling. PRP stimulates the production of collagen, and regenerates skin, hence improving texture and aesthetic appearance. Effective for both atrophic and hypertrophic scars, PRP therapy is natural, and minimally invasive with minimal downtime.
