Before & After Results

Signs & Symptoms
Signs and symptoms of acne scars may be different for every patient. Recognizing these signs helps to get appropriate treatment before they ruin your skin. The first sign of the acne scar appears after lesion or cyst heals in the form of change in color or texture. Color changes are mostly not scars, but a condition called post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation. It usually fades over time. If acne lesions become severely inflamed or filled with pus, skin becomes vulnerable to scarring. Scars may appear in the form of depressions in the skin called pitted scars and raised marks called superficial scars.
Causes of Acne scar
Acne scars are mostly the product of severely inflamed lesions like papule, cyst, and pustule. When acne breakouts penetrate the skin deeply, they damage the skin tissues beneath. After the acne clears, the body repairs this damage. During this healing process, collagen – an important substance that gives support to the skin – is produced. Too much or too little production of collagen leads to the appearance of acne scars. The type of scar also depends on the amount of collagen produced.
Types of Acne Scars
Depressed scars – Pits or depressions are formed on the skin when the skin produces too little collagen during healing.
Raised scars – Raised or superficial scars are formed when the skin produces too much collagen.
Ice pick scars – Deep scars on your skin along with sharp borders. The laser procedure is best for ice pick scars treatment in Dubai. This procedure allows you to get rid of the scars and makes your skin rejuvenated. The laser energy works by stabbing tiny microscopic holes in the surface of the skin.
