There are likely many of you who are particularly self-conscious about acne scars on your chin every time you look in the mirror. Since the area around the chin is prone to recurring acne, it is said that red marks, hyperpigmentation, and even scars often remain even after the inflammation subsides.

Today, I will explain in detail everything from the causes of chin acne scars and home care methods to helpful dermatological procedures.

 

1. Causes of chin acne scars

After acne subsides, red marks, brown pigmentation, or pitted scars may remain. The reasons why acne scars form on the chin are said to be as follows.

 

1) Recurring inflammation

The chin is said to have well-developed sebaceous glands and is an area significantly affected by hormonal changes. Consequently, chin acne often recurs due to factors such as the onset and after of menstruation, stress, and lack of sleep. It is reported that repeated inflammation in the same spot leads to accumulated skin tissue damage and ultimately results in scarring.

 

2) Habit of touching with hands

It is said that habits such as resting your chin on your hand, touching acne around your chin, or squeezing pimples can deepen inflammation and leave behind chin acne scars.

 

3) Friction stimulation

It is said that continuous irritation to the skin, such as from wearing a mask or resting your chin on your hand, can make the skin sensitive and lead to scarring.

 

4 ) Decrease in skin regeneration ability

It is also said that as you age, the rate of skin regeneration and collagen production decreases, making it easier for acne marks or scars to form.

2. Home Care Methods for Chin Acne Scars

It is important to manage and prevent chin acne scars on a regular basis. I will share a few ways to manage chin acne scars with home care.

 

1) Use a regenerating cream

Since the skin becomes sensitive to external stimuli after extraction, it is recommended to apply a regenerating cream to help restore the damaged skin.

2) No self-extrusion

To prevent acne scars on the chin, it is best to avoid self-extraction as much as possible. You should be careful, as applying excessive force when squeezing significantly increases the likelihood of scarring.

 

3) Prevention of acne recurrence

It is said that since recurring acne increases the likelihood of scarring, it is important to manage sebum and inflammation on a regular basis.

3. Dermatological procedures for managing chin acne scars

If left untreated, acne scars can become more prominent, so if home care is difficult, you can seek help from dermatological procedures. Here are a few treatments that can help manage acne scars on the chin.

 

1) CO2 Fraxel

CO2 Fraxel is said to be a procedure that helps improve acne scars and enlarged pores.

I heard that the price for one session of Maypure CO2 Fraxel is 100,000 won.

2) PicoFraxel

PicoFraxel is a laser treatment that regenerates the skin without damaging its surface. Compared to conventional Fraxel, it is said to be less painful and have a shorter downtime. It is reportedly helpful for treating acne scars, as well as improving enlarged pores and skin texture.

The event price for Maypure PicoFraxel is 80,000 won per session, and the first-visit event price is 49,000 won.

In the case of Potenza, it is said to be taking place at the Maypure Pyeongnae Hopyeong branch.

4. Q&A

1) Are there any habits to prevent chin acne scars?
You should avoid touching your chin with your hands as much as possible and refrain from forcibly squeezing acne. Additionally, reducing excessive intake of sugar and dairy products, getting enough sleep, and managing stress are helpful.

 

2) Is there a reason why acne scars on the chin last longer than those on other areas?
In the case of the jaw area, recovery may be slow due to frequent recurring inflammation and significant friction.

 

3) What treatment would be good to get to prevent acne from recurring?

Capri Laser is a procedure that helps treat and prevent acne by reducing sebum secretion, the root cause of acne. If you are concerned about recurring acne or acne marks and scars, Capri Laser can be helpful.

The price for the Maypure Capri Laser first-visit event is 39,000 won.
