Understanding Acne Scars Types

Acne scars form when inflamed blemishes damage the skin’s collagen, leading to an uneven texture. These scars can significantly impact one’s self-esteem and are often classified into different types, each requiring a unique approach for effective treatment.

  1. Atrophic Scars – These are depressed scars, including icepick, boxcar, and rolling scars, resulting from a loss of tissue.
  2. Hypertrophic & Keloid Scars – Raised scars caused by excess collagen production during the healing process.
  3. Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) – Red or brown spots that remain after acne has healed.

Comprehensive Acne Scar Treatment Options

At Revive Cosmetic Clinic, we provide a range of advanced treatments to tackle every type of acne scar. Our personalized approach ensures the best possible outcomes for your skin type and scar condition.

1. Fractional Laser Resurfacing

This laser treatment stimulates collagen production by creating tiny, controlled injuries in the skin, promoting new, healthy skin growth and reducing scar visibility. It is highly effective for boxcar and rolling scars.

Innovative Combination Treatments

For optimal results, our specialists often recommend combining multiple treatments tailored to your specific skin needs. For instance, pairing microneedling with PRP can enhance collagen production and speed up healing, while fractional laser treatments followed by dermal fillers can address both skin texture and volume loss.
