Scars are often left behind on the skin due to the inflammation of acne. Scars show themselves as either darker pigmentation on the skin, or raised scars caused by too much collagen production in efforts to heal the wound. Scars caused by acne can be quite bothersome to a patient. However, at Laser & Dermatologic Surgery Center, we offer several types of treatments to treat and remove common skin scars caused by acne.

Subcision is used to treat deep scars left by acne. It separates the skin tissue from the deeper scar tissue so your skin can level out and appear smooth.
Scar revision minimizes the scars left from acne. It enhances your skin’s tone and texture.
Acne is caused by overproduction of oil (sebum) in the sebaceous gland and the trapping of dead cells within hair follicles. This can trap bacteria normally found on the skin inside the follicle, which then leads to inflammation. Outbreaks range in severity from superficial, as with non-inflammatory whiteheads and blackheads, to deep, cystic lesions.
Some people may be more prone to breakouts than others. This is due to a combination of genetics, hormones, stress, exercise, and other environmental factors.
Schedule AppointmentAcne lesions consist of blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules, cysts, and nodules. The type of outbreak you experience will depend on a variety of factors. Any number of these lesions can appear all over the body, but the most common locations are the face, chest, and back. They may also appear on the neck, shoulders, upper arms, scalp, and buttocks.
