Acne Scars
Following acne, there are primarily four types of acne scars and acne scarring that we treat at Skin Revision.
- Post-inflammatory scarring – erythema or hyperpigmentation scarring caused by acne.
- Vascular scarring – sometimes caused by acne—shows as reddish marks in colour due to thin blood vessels near the surface.
- Ice pick acne scarring—small, deep holes in the surface of your skin. They resemble puncture wounds.
- Box scars—they are oval or round craters showing on the skin’s surface.
- Rolling scars—they are caused by layers of scar tissue forming under the skin. This gives the surface of the skin an uneven appearance.
