Acne scars

Acne scars are skin lesions most commonly found on the face as a result of healing imperfections. They can also appear on the décolletage, back and shoulders and even the buttocks. Following the resolution of active acne lesions, the surface of the skin may appear discolourations and small atrophic scars. Sometimes the epidermal damage is significant and cratered and hypertrophic scars form in its place.

This, how acne scars can be healed, will depend on their size and type. For minor blemishes and small lesions, specialist creams may suffice. Effective treatment of mild acne scars may require the help of a specialist and the use of medical peels with an acid that has the property of rebuilding and regenerating the deep layers of the skin, thus shallowing and brightening post-inflammatory scars. Large acne scars can be effectively reduced or completely eradicated with laser peeling.
