Acne is a long-term skin disease and is one of the main sources of self-confidence and insecurity issues amongst teenagers and adults. Though many people opt for various solutions to treat this problem, they are often marked by different kinds of acne scars that stay with them. Luckily, we have the solution! There are many acne scar treatment choices which are based on several factors. It is important to note that an acne scar treatment suitable for everyone does not exist. Each treatment will specifically target the acne scar type you have. First, you will have to find out which acne scar type you suffer from, to then choose the kind of treatment you need to apply.
Types of Acne Scars & Treatments
- Indented acne scars are a direct result of tissue loss that occurs with infected acne or from repeated “picking” at these lesions. There are essentially three different types of acne scars:
- Rolling acne scars – These scars are shallow with smooth, rounded edges. They spread out over a large area of your face, such as the cheeks, and are the easiest to treat.
- Boxcar acne scars – These scars are deeper and have more defined borders. They typically reside in areas such as the temples.
- Ice pick acne scars – These scars are narrower and deeper, and they are typically scattered across your face. Although they are the most difficult to treat, combination treatment can reduce their appearance significantly
