We understand the profound negative effect acne and acne scars can have on a person’s well-being. The cause of acne scarring is complex. Acne scars are divided into one of these subgroups:
- Rolling (softly indented scars)
- Boxcar (depressed scars with a sharp border)
- Ice pick (narrow, but deep small scars)
- Hypertrophic or Keloid (inflamed and thickened scars)
- Dark pigmentation (discoloration is not true scarring and usually slowly resolves without treatment)
- Erythematous (pink or red areas but not true scarring, usually slowly resolves without treatment)
