Acne Scars

Combat Acne Scars with Our Advanced Treatments

Acne scars are a common aftermath of severe or prolonged acne, resulting from the skin's inflammatory response to pimples, cysts, or blackheads. These scars can manifest as depressed (atrophic) or raised (hypertrophic) marks on the skin, leading to an uneven texture and complexion. Atrophic scars, like ice pick, boxcar, and rolling scars, occur when there is a loss of tissue, causing indentations in the skin. Hypertrophic scars, on the other hand, result from excessive tissue formation and appear as raised, firm areas over the original acne site.

Frequently Asked Questions

Explore our FAQ section to get comprehensive answers about the various skin conditions we treat and how our advanced treatments can help. From understanding the causes and types of different skin conditions to learning about our treatment processes and their benefits, our FAQs are designed to guide you towards achieving your skincare goals.

  • What causes acne scars?

    Acne scars are typically caused by inflamed blemishes resulting from skin pores engorged with excess oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. When the pore swells, it causes a break in the follicle wall, creating a scar as the skin attempts to repair these breaks. Deeper breaks lead to more severe scarring. The severity of the acne, genetic factors, and delay in acne treatment can also increase the likelihood of scarring.

  • What are the different types of acne scars?

    There are several types of acne scars including ice pick scars (small but deep pits), boxcar scars (sharp angles and flat bottoms), rolling scars (broad depressions with a sloping edge), and hypertrophic or keloid scars (lumpy scars that sit above the surface of the skin). Each type of scar may require a different treatment approach, so it's important to consult with a skin specialist.


  • How can IPL Laser treatments at Terra Skin Clinic help in reducing acne scars?

    Our IPL Laser treatments work by using light to target the pigment in the skin, reducing the appearance of acne scars. The treatment stimulates collagen production, which can help to fill in acne scars over time. It can also target the blood vessels in scar tissue, potentially reducing redness. Results can usually be seen within weeks after the first session, with full effects visible after several treatments.
