While many blemishes will disappear without a trace, others can leave behind pitted, raised, or discolored scars, and involve actual damage to the skin. Deep acne scars affect underlying collagen and cause fibrous tissue to heal improperly. As collagen production ramps up in an attempt to correct the damage, the repaired epidermis may not appear as soft or smooth as the previously healthy skin.
At DrSkin, we know the impact of acne scars is both physical and emotional. It isn’t simply a matter of vanity to seek treatment for acne-related scarring. Clearer skin has been shown to correlate with higher levels of self-esteem and confidence. We offer a plethora of treatments: dermabrasion, micro-needling, dermal fillers and injectables, fat transfer, chemical peels and laser resurfacing to name a few. Addressing the scars and marks left behind by acne not only improves your skin health, but also helps to prevent post-acne scarring, and is guaranteed to change your outlook on life and your future.
