Kindly explain about the causes and management of acne scarring.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

1. During severe active acne, inflammatory process leads to scarring if it is not properly treated or treated late during course of acne. So treatment of acne is very important both early and according to recommendations. Because inflammation leads to destruction of collagen fires in skin, resulting in scar formation.

2. People should use products that contain collagen, hyaluronic acid, elastin (the natural ingredients present in our skin and maintain its contour and give it even surface).

3. Scarring can be more difficult to treat in darker skin type because of heavy melanin pigmentation present naturally in their skin which also take part in inflammatory process occurring during acne.

4. Once scarring occur, it is not possible that it get improved on its own or without any treatment. Different options available for scars are topical gels and chemical peeling. Apart from that Co2 fractional laser is also available to get rid of it.

5. Chemical peeling is a method by which skin is stimulated to produce more collagen and making the skin scar free and improving its texture. The more effective treatment is fractional laser that helps in stimulating fibroblasts, increasing collagen production and improving acne scars.

6. People can use topical gels containing collagen if they do not want to undergo procedures. Sunscreen do not have much role to play.

7. For prevention of scarring, early and proper treatment of acne is needed. Oral Retinoids are recommended to prevent scarring.
