Types of Acne Scars

Acne is a scourge that affects people of all ages, regardless of skin type, irrespective of personal hygiene. It is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition that occurs when follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells which result in whiteheads, blackheads and pimples on the face, shoulders, back, chest, and upper arms.

Unfortunately for many people, acne can result in visible scarring that usually has a negative affect on personal appearance and self-esteem. Acne scars can be professionally treated to improve your complexion and skin quality, however there are several types of acne scars, and knowing which type you have will determine the best way to treat them with one or a combination of the following Este acne treatments: Chemical Peels, Microneedling, HydraFacial, Skin Tightening, and/or Dermal Fillers.

Ice Pick Scars

Ice pick acne scars are characteristically deep but with small pits, and they can reach past the top level of the skin’s surface. This is one of the most common types along with Boxed scars.

Rolling Scars

These types of scars can cause the skin’s surface to have a wavy look due to damage under the epidermis. Rolling scars are usually wide and shallow.

Boxed Scars

These scars are wide with defined edges and sharp angles. They appear oval in shape and can be shallow or deep.

Hypertrophic/Keloid Scars

Hypertrophic scars are typically raised and are firm to the touch; most commonly found on the back and chest but can also be on the face and neck. Keloid scars are thick and also raised in appearance, they can be larger than Hypertrophic scars.

What type of scarring you have will determine if fillers, skin resurfacing or skin tightening is the best option for you. A combination of treatments may be required to attain a smoother, more even skin tone and texture. For the best long-term acne scar treatment results it is recommended an Este skin assessment is conducted to determine the type of scarring you have.

Available Acne Treatments

At Este Medical Group, we offer proven treatments for a variety of acne conditions. An Este skincare specialist can advise you as to which acne/acne scar treatment(s) is best for your skin.

Lightfusion™ Light Therapy

This light-based treatment is ideal for ongoing, active acne. Photo-dynamic Therapy (PDT) targets and destroys the bacteria responsible for acne, giving your skin an opportunity to clear up and heal; it can help halt the cycle of breakouts. This light therapy can also diminish older acne scars, leaving your skin smoother.

Skin Peels

This resurfacing treatment is good for mild to moderate acne in addition to acne scarring. Skin peels work to resurface the top layer of skin and encourage cells to regenerate. Skin peels (or chemical peels) rapidly exfoliate the skin, allowing dead skin cells to shed more effectively, as well as eliminating excess oil and unblocking the pores. There are several peels to choose from and an Este skincare expert will guide you to selecting the best one suited for your skin concerns.

Pixel Laser Resurfacing

Ideal for acne scarring, this resurfacing treatment smooths the skin and promotes collagen production below the skin’s surface. New collagen helps to promote skin repair and growth, reducing the appearance of depressions caused by acne scarring.

Should I Stop Wearing Makeup If I Have Acne?

No, that is not necessary. However, you should use makeup products that are non-comedogenic, as they do not contain pore clogging ingredients. You may want to use a non-comedogenic primer before makeup application and it is also advised to clean makeup brushes and sponges on a regular basis to wash away makeup buildup and bacteria.

Does acne mean my face is not clean enough?

Not necessarily.
