  3. UNDERSTANDING ACNE SCARS Acne scars are the result of inflammation caused by acne, leading to damage to the skin's deeper layers. There are several types of acne scars, each requiring different treatment approaches: • Atrophic Scars: These are the most common type of acne scars, characterized by a loss of tissue. They appear as small depressions or indentations in the skin, often categorized as icepick, boxcar, or rolling scars. • Hypertrophic Scars: These occur when excess tissue forms over the skin, resulting in raised areas. These scars are more common on the back and chest but can also appear on the face. • Keloid Scars: A more severe form of hypertrophic scars, keloids are large, raised, and can continue to grow beyond the original area of skin damage. www.anupdhir.com

  4. TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR ACNE SCARS Treatment for acne scars varies depending on the type and severity of the scars, as well as the individual's skin type and preferences. Here are some common treatment options: • Topical Treatments: Over-the-counter and prescription creams or gels containing ingredients like retinoids, vitamin C, and alpha hydroxy acids can help improve the appearance of mild scars. • Chemical Peels: A dermatologist applies a chemical solution to the skin, causing the outer layer to peel away, promoting new skin growth. This can be effective for treating mild to moderate atrophic scars. • Microdermabrasion and Dermabrasion: These procedures involve exfoliating the skin to varying degrees to encourage the growth of new, smoother skin. Dermabrasion is more aggressive and is typically reserved for deeper scars. www.anupdhir.com

  5. Laser Therapy: This treatment uses focused light to resurface the skin, promoting collagen production and reducing the appearance of scars. Different types of lasers can be used based on the type of scars and skin tone. • Micro-needling: A procedure in which tiny needles create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and reducing the appearance of scars. • Fillers and Subcision: Fillers are injected into atrophic scars to raise them to the level of surrounding skin, while subcision involves breaking up scar tissue to promote healing and collagen production. • Surgical Options: For severe cases, surgical procedures like punch excision or scar revision can be used to remove or alter scar tissue. www.anupdhir.com
