I don't get acne very often anymore, but even after the breakouts subside, I'm still left with pitted marks and redness that bother me. Whenever I look in the mirror, my acne scars are even more prominent, which stresses me out. So, I started researching various acne scar management methods.

Today, I'll tell you about the causes of acne scars, home care scar management methods, and what laser treatments are available for acne scars!

1. Causes of acne scars

Even after acne clears, acne scars often remain and linger. Here are some factors that can contribute to acne scarring.

 

1) Influence of male hormones

Acne scars are said to be more likely to develop due to the influence of male hormones. Acne is influenced by male hormones, and this is why men have a higher rate of scarring than women.

 

2) Inflammatory acne

It is said that if you have severe inflammatory acne rather than simple whiteheads, there is a higher chance that it will leave scars.

 

3) Self-extrusion

Even manually squeezing pimples can cause acne scars. Forcing a pimple can worsen inflammation and damage surrounding tissue, potentially leaving scars.

 

4) Absence of initial management

Also, if acne is not treated quickly and continues for more than 3 weeks, it can leave acne scars, especially pitted scars.

2. Types of acne scars

They say that acne scars can be classified based on their shape.

 

1) Box-shaped scars : It has a thin, wide, and dented shape, making the skin surface look uneven.

2) needle-shaped scars : has a deep and pointed shape

3) Rolling scars : Skin texture appears uneven and overall skin tone is uneven.

3. Acne Scar Home Care and Prevention

It's said that it's important to manage and prevent acne scars on a regular basis. Here are some preventative measures you can take at home!

 

1) Avoid self-extrusion

To prevent acne scars, it's important to be mindful of your habit of popping pimples. Avoiding excessive force when squeezing pimples can help prevent scarring.

 

2) Early acne management

It's also important to manage your skin in the early stages, before inflammation occurs. In the early stages, exfoliation and sebum control are crucial. Gently wash your face with a mildly acidic cleanser, and use a moisturizer that helps protect the skin barrier.
