Acne Scars

Bronx, New York

What Are Acne Scars?

Acne scars are marks left on the skin after an acne breakout heals. These scars are caused by inflammation in the skin during an active acne infection, leading to tissue damage. The severity of acne scarring can vary, with some individuals developing mild discoloration and others forming deep indentations or raised areas. While acne scars are permanent, various treatments can help improve their appearance and texture over time.

What Are the Causes of Acne Scars?

  • Inflammation: The more inflamed an acne pimple is, the higher the risk of scarring after healing.
  • Picking or Squeezing: Touching or popping pimples can push bacteria deeper into the skin, increasing the likelihood of scarring.
  • Severe Acne: Cystic or nodular acne, which forms deep under the skin, tends to cause more noticeable scarring.
  • Delayed Treatment: Not treating acne promptly can lead to more severe breakouts and, consequently, more scarring.
  • Genetics: A family history of acne scars can increase an individual’s risk of developing scars.

These exfoliate the skin and promote the regeneration of healthy cells, reducing scar depth and visibility.
Hydrafacial
A multi-step facial that deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates, improving skin tone and texture.
RF Microneedling
Combines radiofrequency energy with microneedling to stimulate collagen production, smoothing out acne scars.
