ACNE SCAR:
Acne scars are caused as a result of body’s own response trying to heal the acne. In an attempt to get rid of acne, body produces severe inflammatory responses which cause scarring not only on one’s face but also on mind.
The acne scars are categorized into three main types:
-
ATROPHIC SCAR:
These occur as a result of loss of collagen (supporting tissue of skin) which leads to pits on the face at the site of acne. A multi modality approach to raise the depression is required.
-
HYPERTROPHIC SCARS:
These occur as a result of excessive collagen production due to severe inflammation and appear as red, hard and thickened elevation on skin surface.
-
