Acne Scars
Lets get them sorted once and for all!
Why do we get these changes?
-
Severity of Acne
Book NowSevere types of acne, such as cystic or nodular acne, are more likely to cause scarring because they involve deeper layers of the skin.
Statistics: Around 80% of people aged 11-30 experience acne, and of those with severe acne, up to 20% develop permanent scars.
-
Delayed or Ineffective Treatment
Book NowNot treating acne early or properly allows inflammation to persist, increasing the chance of scarring.
Statistics: Studies show that early and consistent treatment reduces the risk of scarring by approximately 50%.
-
Inflammation and Skin Damage
Book NowInflammation triggers the skin's healing response, which can lead to either excessive collagen production (hypertrophic scars) or insufficient collagen (atrophic scars).
Statistics: Inflammatory acne is present in approximately 60-70% of acne cases, making it a primary risk factor for scarring.
-
Picking or Popping Pimples
Book NowSqueezing or picking at acne lesions disrupts the skin barrier and increases the depth of inflammation, leading to scars.
Statistics: A survey revealed that 90% of individuals with acne admit to picking their pimples, significantly increasing the likelihood of scarring.

Microneedling

-
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
Book NowHow It Works: PRP, derived from the patient’s blood, is injected or applied after microneedling to enhance healing and collagen production.
Effectiveness: When combined with microneedling, PRP enhances outcomes, with studies reporting 70-90% improvement in acne scars after 3-5 sessions.
Faster healing and better scar texture compared to microneedling alone.

Chemical Peels
Book Now!How It Works: Chemical peels use acids to exfoliate the skin, promoting new cell growth and reducing the appearance of scars.
Effectiveness: Mild to moderate acne scars: Studies show a 50-70% improvement in skin texture and tone after multiple sessions.
