Medical Management of Acne Scars at Bare & Beauty Aesthetic and Wellness
Acne scars are a common long-term outcome of inflammatory acne and can vary significantly in depth, texture, and appearance. Unlike active acne, scars represent structural changes in the skin, which require a carefully planned, medical approach rather than surface-level treatments.
At Bare & Beauty Aesthetic and Wellness, acne scar treatment is doctor-led, assessment-based, and protocol-driven, with a focus on gradual improvement, skin safety, and realistic expectations.
All acne scar treatments are offered only after an in-person dermatological consultation.
Acne scars form when inflammation damages deeper layers of the skin during active acne. The type of scarring depends on factors such as acne severity, healing response, and individual skin characteristics.
Common types of acne scars include:
- Ice-pick scars (narrow, deep indentations)
- Boxcar scars (broader, well-defined depressions)
- Rolling scars (undulating or uneven texture)
- Post-acne pigmentation (dark marks without true scarring)
Identifying the type and extent of scarring is essential before selecting any treatment.
