Acne Scar Removal In Beverly Hills

What causes acne scars?

 

Bacteria, dead skin cells, and excess oils can cause inflamed blemishes on your skin. The pores swell and may cause breakage of the skin. Typically, shallow lesions may heal quickly.

 

If the pore experiences deep breakage, the infection can spill out into the surrounding tissues. This factor results in the creation of deeper lesions.

 

As the skin aims to heal itself, it forms new collagen fibers. This mechanism doesn’t usually result in a smooth and flawless renewal of skin. This mishap creates various types of acne scars.

 

What are the different types of acne scars?

 

Acne scars can be as mild as few patches or as horrible as a bunch of craters. However they look, it pays to know their forms for you to have an idea which treatment might suit you.

 

1. Macules

They’re flat an

d red spots caused by acne lesions. Macules can be visible for weeks and then fades on their own.

 

2. Skin discoloration

 

This skin problem is also called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Acne scars may leave the skin discolored.

 

3. Tissue scars

 

Also called keloids or hypertrophic scars, these scars are caused by the excess production of collagen in your skin. They may appear as enlarged and raised growths of tissues.

 

4. Loss of tissue

 

These are more common than raised tissue scars. They look like pits on the skin. Loss of tissue causes it. They’re also called Follicular Macular Atrophy, Ice-Pick Scars, Depressed Fibrotic Scars, Soft Scars, and Atrophic Macules.
