Understanding Scarring
Scars are a natural part of the skin’s healing process, but they can affect how we feel about our appearance long after the original injury has healed. Whether from acne, surgery, injury, burns, or other skin trauma, scarring occurs when the deeper layers of skin are damaged and the body produces collagen to repair the wound.
Acne scarring can take several forms. Atrophic scars create depressions in the skin and include ice pick scars (small, deep pits), boxcar scars (wider depressions with defined edges), and rolling scars (wave-like undulations that give the skin an uneven texture). Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, those dark spots left behind after spots heal, is also common, though these typically fade over time.
Treating them requires stimulating the skin’s natural healing and regeneration processes to rebuild collagen and smooth texture.
If a form of scarring is affecting your confidence, a consultation can help determine which treatments might work best for your skin, where we create a personalised approach to treating your concern.
