Acne scars are a common issue for those who have had severe or persistent acne. They can affect both the appearance and texture of the skin. Here’s a look at different types of acne scars and related conditions:

Types of Acne Scars

Ice Pick Scars: Small, deep, and pinhole-like. Treatments include microneedling, laser therapy, and chemical peels.

Rolling Scars: These create wave-like indentations on the skin. Options like subcision, fillers, and microneedling are effective for these.

Boxcar Scars: Broad, deep scars with sharp edges. Dermal fillers, lasers, or chemical peels can help reduce these.

Hyperpigmentation (Dark Spots): Dark spots left after inflammation can create an uneven skin tone. Chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and specific creams can help lighten these marks.
