Understanding It
What Causes Acne Scars?
Acne scars are textural and pigment changes left behind after breakouts heal. They range from shallow, rolling depressions and 'boxcar' scars to raised marks and lingering dark spots (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation). Because they sit in the deeper layers of skin, topical products alone rarely resolve them.
Root Causes
Why Acne Scars Happens
Understanding the cause is the first step to effective treatment.
Collagen Damage
Severe or picked breakouts damage collagen, leaving depressed scars that don't fill in on their own.
Post-Inflammatory Pigment
Inflammation triggers excess melanin, leaving brown or red marks long after the pimple is gone.
Delayed Treatment
Untreated cystic acne is more likely to scar; the deeper the breakout, the deeper the scar.
Skin Type & Genetics
Some skin types are more prone to both textural scarring and stubborn pigmentation.
How We Treat It
Our Approach to Acne Scars
Microneedling is our go-to for acne scars — it creates controlled micro-injuries that rebuild collagen and remodel scar tissue from within, dramatically smoothing rolling and boxcar scars. Chemical peels and microdermabrasion resurface the top layers to fade discoloration and refine texture. We often combine them in a customized plan.
