Edit What are the Types of Acne Scars?

<div><strong>What are the Types of Acne Scars?</strong></div> <div>There are three main types of acne scars: raised scars, pitted or indented scars and flat scars. Scars can also appear in a variety of colours, including clear, white, red, purple and brown. Sometimes what people think are scars are actually something called post-inflammatory erythema. These are pink, red or purple marks that can stick around for a long time but aren’t true scars.</div> <div> </div> <ul> <li>Ice pick scars are deep and narrow and look like small holes as if the skin was punctured with a sharp object. They commonly appear on the cheeks and jawline.</li> <li>Boxcar scars are broad depressions with defined edges, often square-shaped and can be caused by both acne and chickenpox.</li> <li>Rolling scars create wave-like, uneven textures across the skin due to fibrous bands pulling the epidermis downward.</li> <li>Depressed fibrotic scars are deep, wide scars with firm, sometimes rigid edges, resulting from severe nodular or cystic acne.</li> <li>Hypertrophic scars are raised and firm, forming when the body produces too much collagen during healing.</li> <li>Keloid scars are an extreme form of raised scarring that extends beyond the original wound, often large and irregular in shape.</li> </ul> <div> </div> <div> <div><strong>How to Remove Acne Scars with Laser Treatments</strong></div> <div>Once you understand what causes acne scars and identify the type, you can start exploring the most effective treatments, such as laser treatments.</div> <div> </div> <div>Laser treatments, such as Secret PRO and <a title="Micro-Needling" href="https://www.consultingroom.com/treatment/medical-skin-needling-dermaroller-collagen-induction-therapy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Micro-Needling</a>, penetrate deep into the skin where acne scars form, which might not be achieved with skincare products.
