Often caused by past acne, injury, or surgery, when collagen heals unevenly and leaves visible dips or ridges on the skin’s surface.
SCARRING
Why marks linger on the skin and how we help soften their appearance
Scarring occurs when the skin repairs itself after injury or inflammation, such as acne or trauma. During healing, collagen can form irregularly, leaving behind visible marks that may look pitted, raised, or textured.
The Different Types of Scarring Concerns
Indented or Raised Scars
Flat or Discolored Scars
Result from past breakouts or injuries, where inflammation leaves behind flat red, brown, or darker marks that linger even after the skin has healed.
Scarring from Past Breakouts
Visible marks and indentations left behind by previous inflammation and collagen disruption.
What Causes Acne Scarring?
Common contributors include:
- Deep, inflamed breakouts such as cysts or nodules
- Picking, squeezing, or aggressive extractions
- Delayed or inadequate treatment of active acne
- Loss or excess production of collagen during healing
- Sun exposure that darkens post‑inflammatory marks
- Overuse of harsh products that irritate already‑inflamed skin
How to Help Prevent and Minimize Scarring
Healthy skin healing is supported by:
- Treating active breakouts early to limit deep inflammation
- Avoiding picking, squeezing, or scratching blemishes or wounds
- Daily sun protection to keep scars from darkening
- Gentle, barrier‑supportive skincare (no harsh scrubs or burning actives)
- Keeping skin well‑hydrated to support repair
- Seeking professional guidance for persistent acne or existing scars
