How to Get Rid of Acne Scars

Types of Acne Scars and Their Treatments

Understanding your specific type of acne scarring is crucial for choosing the right treatment. Here's what you need to know about each type:

Atrophic (Indented) Scars

The most common type of acne scarring, these appear as depressions in the skin and come in three forms:

Icepick Scars

• Deep, narrow indentations that look like tiny holes
• The most challenging to treat due to their depth
• Best treated with a combination of professional treatments and at-home care like Micro-Infusion

Boxcar Scars

• Wider depressions with sharp, defined edges
• More responsive to treatment than icepick scars
• Often show significant improvement with regular Micro-Infusion treatments

Rolling Scars

• Create a wavy, undulating texture across your skin
• Most responsive to treatment among atrophic scars
• Regular collagen stimulation through treatments like Micro-Infusion can significantly improve appearance

Raised Scars

• Hypertrophic: Stay within the original acne site, common on chest and back
• Keloid: Extend beyond the original site, more common in darker skin tones
• Both types result from excess collagen production during healing

Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation

These dark marks aren't true scars but often cause as much concern. They tend to fade naturally over time, but treatments can speed up this process considerably. Micro-Infusion is particularly effective as it enhances cell turnover while helping brightening ingredients penetrate deeper into the skin.
