Acne scars: why do acne marks develop?<\/h1>\n

Acne scars develop when the sebaceous gland becomes inflamed and the surrounding collagen fibres are damaged and replaced by scar tissue containing lower-quality collagen.<\/p>\n

There are technologies and treatments that can successfully reduce and improve the appearance of these marks.

How can red acne marks be removed?<\/h2>\n

After acne, red marks may remain as a residual effect of the inflammatory process. They can persist for weeks or months<\/strong>, meaning that even after the spot has disappeared, a red or brown mark may remain.<\/p>\n

These red acne marks can be effectively reduced or removed with laser or IPL treatment and, in some cases, with specific topical creams.<\/p>\n

Types of acne scars and how to treat them<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Boxcar scars<\/strong> have a wide diameter (more than 2 mm) and clearly defined edges.<\/li>\n
  • Ice-pick scars<\/strong>: small, deep punctiform scars less than 2 mm in diameter.<\/li>\n
  • Rolling scars<\/strong>: shallower depressions that affect larger areas and give the skin an uneven, textured appearance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Treatment differs for each type, although many patients have all three types of acne scar, so we combine treatments.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
