Types of Acne Scars

So you have Acne scars, let’s determine what type of acne scarring you are dealing with?

Atrophic Scarring is an indented scar that forms when a wound heals below your normal layer of skin. This is caused by a lack of collagen or damage to the tissues underneath the skin. Professional treatments are needed to help reduce the appearance of this type of scarring.

Post Inflammatory Erythema occurs when blood flow is stopped during the inflammation stage. Inflammation, blood vessel dilation, and any damage to those blood vessels can cause red or pink marks to appear on the skin.

Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation occurs when your pigment skin cells are stimulated during the wound-healing process. The darkened spots are a concentration of pigment in our area.
