Acne Scars

Understanding Acne Scars: Causes and Solutions

Acne scars can be a persistent reminder of past skin issues, impacting both confidence and skin health. At Aspire Medical Aesthetics, we understand how important it is to feel comfortable in your own skin. Whether you’re dealing with superficial marks or deeper scars, our tailored treatments in the local area are designed to address your unique needs.

What Causes Acne Scars?

Acne scars occur when the skin heals after an acne breakout. The healing process can sometimes lead to the production of too much or too little collagen, resulting in either raised or indented scars. Factors such as genetics, the severity of acne, and even delay in treatment can contribute to the formation of these scars.

Types of Acne Scars

Recognizing the type of acne scar is crucial for effective treatment. Here are the most common types:

Atrophic Scars: These are sunken scars often caused by the loss of skin tissue.

Hypertrophic Scars: Raised scars resulting from an excess of collagen during healing.

Boxcar Scars: Broad, rectangular depressions with sharply defined edges.

Ice Pick Scars: Deep, narrow scars that can penetrate into the dermis.

Rolling Scars: Have a wave-like appearance due to bands of tissue that develop under the skin.

Treatment Options at Aspire Medical Aesthetics

At Aspire Medical Aesthetics, we offer a variety of advanced treatments to help reduce the appearance of acne scars. Our experienced team will work with you to determine the most effective approach based on your skin type and scar condition.

Chemical Peels

A chemical peel can help remove the outer layer of skin, promoting new skin growth and reducing the appearance of scars.

Microneedling

This treatment involves using small needles to create controlled skin injuries, stimulating collagen production to improve skin texture and reduce scars.

Morpheus8

Combining microneedling with radiofrequency technology, Morpheus8 targets deeper layers of skin for more significant remodeling and scar reduction.

HydraFacial

A HydraFacial can cleanse, extract, and hydrate your skin, enhancing its overall appearance and helping to minimize mild acne scars.
