Introduction
  • An acne scar occurs when the hair follicles mix
    with oil and dead skin cells. It is very common
    among teenagers and young adults.
  • The symptoms of acne scars generally include
    large red tender bumps, blackheads and pus filled
    pimples.
  • Face treatment for scars generally include
    creams, cleansers and prescription of
    antibiotics.

3 Types of Acne scarring
  • There are basically 3 types of acne scarring and
    they are
  • Atrophic scarring
  • Atrophic scarring appears in the form of
    depressed pin-like pockets in the skin that
    happens due to condition such as acne and chicken
    pox. These acne scars can also occur due to rapid
    growth weight or rapid weight gain.
  • Hypertrophic Scarring
  • These are firm, raised and reddish purple scars
    can increase in size with time. Hypertrophic
    scarring occurs due to injury or surgery within 6
    months

  • Keloid Scarring
  • These acne scars are firm, raised and reddish
    purple scars that increase in size with time.
    Keloidal scars causes pain, itching and unsightly
    surface among the patients.

The treatment Procedure
  • One needs to heat the laser first to remove the
    top layer of your skin where the scar has been
    formed. Your skin will look more smoother and the
    scars will no be noticeable because the top layer
    of your scar has been removed.
  • The heat and light from the laser makes new and
    healthy skin cells to grow. The heat of the laser
    attracts the blood flow and the inflammation is
    also reduced when the blood vessels in the scar
    targeted.
