You Don’t Have to Live with Acne Scars

We are constantly told that beauty is only skin deep, but acne scars can really have you feeling down. You might be insecure and self-conscious, which could have an impact on how you interact with people and your social life. But the good news is that you can do something about them! At Metro Dermatology, our specialized team of dermatologists can bring out the best in you through personalized treatments.
Why Do Acne Scars Exist?
The same excess oils, bacteria, and dead cells that cause acne are responsible for acne scars. This surplus of matter can cause your pores to become swollen and inflamed. These inflammations can lead to minor or major wounds in your pore’s follicle walls. The minor lesions are shallow and heal back to normal in no time. But the major lesions are deeper and can cause infections in nearby areas — causing gaping holes.
The visible effects of scarring occur when your skin tries to mend these gaps but fails to do a perfect job. In reality, your body was only trying to help but the repair job was shoddy due to its inability to produce enough collagen. The result of this improper work is seen in the form of acne scarring.
How Can You Get Rid of Acne Scars?
Your treatment options vary based on the intensity of the acne scarring as well as the level of treatment you personally want to receive. A common treatment involves using soft tissue fillers. This is a process where collagen is inserted into your scarred regions. The result is a visible, albeit temporary, difference.
On the other end of the spectrum lies the Dermabrasion technique. This treatment can eliminate your surface acne via a spinning wire brush — resulting in a more permanent solution to your acne scar woes.
