What is Acne?

Acne scars are the marks left on the skin by acne (pimple) lesions. Acne is a skin problem caused by blockage and inflammation of the sebaceous glands in the skin. Acne usually occurs in areas where sebaceous glands are more dense, such as the face, chest, shoulders and back.

How Does Acne Occur?

Acne scars are the result of damage and inflammation during the healing process of acne lesions on the skin. When a pimple bursts or is squeezed, the skin tissue in the skin can be damaged, which can lead to the formation of scars. In addition, impaired or over or under production of collagen in the skin can also affect scar formation.

Acne scars can be of different types. Atrophic scars appear as sunken scars on the skin, while hypertrophic scars can cause raised and raised scars. Atrophic scars are often referred to as acne pits or glacial scars, while hypertrophic scars can take the form of keloids.

How should acne scar treatment be done?

The best treatment for acne scars can vary depending on the type and severity of the scars and the individual situation. Here are some commonly used effective treatment options for acne scars:

1. Microdermabrasion: This treatment is a controlled peeling of the top layer of the skin surface. In this way, scars on the skin are reduced and a smoother appearance is achieved.
2. Chemical peeling: This treatment method allows the top layer of the skin to peel off using chemical solutions applied on the skin. This reduces the appearance of scars.
3. Micro-needling: This treatment method allows the skin to start its own healing process by making small punctures on the skin with fine needles. In this process, the scars on the skin are reduced and the skin is renewed.
4. Laser treatment Laser treatment reduces the appearance of scars by delivering intense energy to the skin. Depending on the type of laser, it can reduce pigmentation by targeting spots or help smooth the skin by stimulating the skin's collagen production.
5. Dermal fillers: This treatment option involves the use of fillers injected under the skin to smooth or plump the scars.
6. Dermabrasion: In this method, the top layer on the skin surface is scraped off with devices, thus revealing the smoother skin layer underneath.
7. Skin transplantation Skin transplantation is done by removing skin from healthy areas and transplanting it to scarred areas. This method is usually used for deep and prominent scars.

These treatment options should be evaluated by a professional dermatologist and the most appropriate one for your personal situation should be determined.

Acne scars can be treated, but each individual's skin structure and the effect on scars can be different. A dermatologist or skin specialist can perform an individual assessment to determine the most appropriate treatment options.
