Acne scarring is a result of irregular collagen formation in the skin as it heals from breakouts. Mild ones usually heal on their own, except for maybe leaving dark spots behind, which, again, fade away soon enough. However, moderate and extreme types of acne can inflict permanent scarring. These may be indented or raised, depending on the condition and how the skin reacts to the damage.

Professional treatment on time can result in an optimal reduction of acne scars. Otherwise, professional treatment can hardly reduce long-lasting impacts.

Generally, two types of acne scars can be observed:

Atrophic (Depressed) Scars: In this category of acne scars, the skin is sunken below the surface. Three forms come within this category:

Ice pick scars: These lesions or indentations appear as narrow and deep.

Rolling scars: Broad shallow depressions with rounded edges

Boxcar scars: Wider scars with more pointed edges, giving it a box-like appearance.

Hypertrophic scars: The hypertrophic scars are raised due to the overproduction of collagen during the process of healing. Sometimes, these types of scars are known as keloid scars. They are more common in parts like the chest and back.

Professional treatments, including laser therapy, microneedling, or chemical peels, make a big difference in the appearance of such scars.
