Skin is one of the largest organs and the most exposed organ that contains million of open pores that help to regulate body temperature, maintain skin pH balance, and hydration level. When skin pores are clogged due to sebum, dust, dirt, pollutants, and dead skin cells, it results in acne (commonly known as pimples) and flesh-colored bumps formation. Acne also occurs due to the hormonal imbalance or overactive production of oil (sebum) through the sebaceous glands that are present deeper inside the skin.

When acne starts to heal, they often leave behind acne scars. Although acne scars are not related to any major health problem, it may lower the self-confidence of the person through physical imperfections. The appearance of the acne scars increases over time and looks like an indented skin structure. Acne scars cause rough and uneven skin texture, and skin damage that cannot be healed naturally. Thus, a consistent dermatological method by skin experts can be of great help in reducing scars. Various techniques help to improve the appearance and texture of the skin.

Factors that cause scars are as follows

Inflammation such as the presence of reddish, swollen, and painful acne may result in scar formation.
Inflammatory acne is left untreated.
Picks, popping, or squeezing acne may cause scars.
Scars may form due to heredity reasons.
Medical history of chickenpox or other infectious diseases.

Types of Acne Scars

There are various types of acne scars that are categorized according to their shape, size, and severity. Treatments are also varying according to the type of scar and pattern of the scar.

1. Atrophic scars:

These scars form due to loss of tissue, and the body is unable to regenerate them (due to lack of collagen production), this results in atrophic scar formation. There are three main types of atrophic scars:

Ice pick scars: Ice pick scars are formed due to the infection that occurred by a cyst or other inflammation on the surface. These scars leave a thin, small, narrow, and deep hole into the skin.
Boxcar scars: These scars are wider and look like sharp defined edges. These scars occurred due to acne, varicella or chickenpox. These scars look like an itchy rash with blisters. These scars usually cover the thicker area of the skin such as lower jaw and cheeks.
Rolling scars: These scars are deep and have sloping edges on the skin. They appear wavy and uneven on the skin.

2. Hypertrophic scar

Healing of wounds or injury causes scar tissue formation which is prominent and red in appearance. So, hypertrophic scars are raised and thickened scars due to excess production of collagen in the skin. These scars may become pale and flat after several months. Main factor for hypertrophic scar formation is an inflammation or injury such as burns, acne and insect bites.

3. Keloid scars:

The spontaneous scar formation causes hypertrophic scars to look like a smooth, firm and hard growth on the skin, and this results in the formation of keloid scar. These scars are itchy or uncomfortable and increase beyond the actual injury. They can develop anywhere in the body, especially shoulders and upper chest. Dark skinned people are more likely to form keloid scars than Caucasians. Although hypertrophic or keloid scars are harmless for general health.

Chemical Peels: Chemical peels use acidic solutions to remove the top layer of skin, revealing smoother, healthier skin underneath. They can improve the appearance of mild to moderate acne scars.

Dermal Fillers: Dermal fillers are injectable substances that can temporarily fill in atrophic scars, creating a smoother skin surface.
