For some people, acne comes and goes without leaving a mark. Many people, though, are left with acne scars that make their skin look rough or uneven. Often accompanied by hyperpigmentation, these scars can affect your confidence and are often too deep for over-the-counter treatments to have much effect. Your team at Skinatomy Laser Clinic offers a range of acne scar treatments, so we can customize your treatment to meet your needs.
What Causes Acne Scars?
Almost all of us experience at least a few breakouts, but not everyone develops acne scars. Factors that affect whether you develop scars include the severity of your acne, your skin type, and your body’s natural tendency to form scar tissue. Deep cystic acne is more likely to leave scars, but some people develop them from even relatively mild breakouts. Inflamed acne is also more likely to cause scarring. It can also cause a form of discoloration called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
