What Causes Acne Scars?

When bacteria, oils, and dead skin cells clog and inflamed pores, the microscopic openings in your skin through which sweat and oil rise to the surface, an acne lesion (pimple) develops. Your skin sheds 40,000 cells per hour, yet occasionally one of those dead cells gets stuck in a pore. There are occasions when small, clogged pores cause "whiteheads or blackheads." These pores can sometimes swell up and cause different kinds of acne. 

The lesion is often small and heals fast if the rupture happens close to the skin's surface. When there is a significant rupture in the follicular wall, more serious lesions develop. A healthy layer of skin is destroyed when the infectious substance leaks into the dermis.
 

How much collagen your body produces determines the sort of scar.

Do you suffer from the following?

Whiteheads are tiny lumps or patches that are colourless or pale.

Blackheads are tiny, dark-colored pimples that can have a slight bumpy appearance.

Papules are little, raised bumps that lie beneath the skin's surface.

Larger, sensitive lumps called pustules have a distinct circular centre packed with pale or yellow pus.

Deep within the skin, nodules are hard, inflammatory lumps.

Large, painful, red or white lumps called cysts are found deep within the skin.

How can we treat Acne Scars?

There are numerous cosmetic procedures available. The finest alternatives for your acne scars can be discussed by you and your dermatologist. Repeat operations or the requirement for two or more different types of procedures to repair a patient's skin are not uncommon. 
 

Procedures for resurfacing: 

  1. Chemical peels: In this procedure, the top layer of the skin is removed using specialised chemicals. 
  2. Dermabrasion: Similar to how a sander removes the top layers of wood from a plank, this procedure involves the use of a specific instrument that creates friction to remove the top layers of skin. 
  3. Microdermabrasion: Like dermabrasion, microdermabrasion removes the top layer of skin using a specialised equipment. 
  4. Resurfacing with a laser Under the skin's scarred collagen, a laser heats it. This depends on the body's response to healing wounds to produce fresh, healthy collagen.
     

Further steps: 

  1. Steroid injections: This treatment involves injecting steroids into a raised scar. Steroids cause the fibrous tissue to soften, flattening the scar. 
  2. Dermal Fillers: In this procedure, a material that raises the skin upward is injected behind a depressed scar. 
  3. Microneedling: This procedure injures your skin with tiny needles on purpose in order to promote the formation of collagen, which might lessen the appearance of scars. 
  4. Excision: Using this method, the dermatologist makes a cut in the skin, extracts the acne scar, and then sutures the wound shut. 
  5. Subcision: In this procedure, fibrous bands that pull scar tissue into your skin's deeper layers are split apart using a needle. 
  6. Punch grafting: In this procedure, the scar is pulled out as with an excision, and the region is then filled with skin taken from another part of the body, usually behind the ear. 
  7. Cryosurgery: This procedure employs liquid nitrogen to freeze elevated scar tissue. After dying, the scar tissue starts to detach.
