Causes & Risk Factors
Severity of Acne
Acne scarring is more likely to occur in cases of moderate to severe acne, such as acne vulgaris and cystic acne. These types of acne often involve deeper inflammation, which increases the risk of scarring.
Collagen Production
Acne scarring is influenced by the body's collagen production. Excessive collagen leads to raised scars, while insufficient collagen results in pitted scars. The body’s ability to regulate collagen levels during the healing process determines the type of scarring that forms.
Improper or Untreated Acne
Acne that is not properly treated or left unresolved can cause prolonged inflammation, leading to deeper tissue damage and higher chances of scarring.
Picking or Squeezing Pimples
Picking or squeezing acne lesions can worsen inflammation, pushing bacteria deeper into the skin and increasing the likelihood of scarring.
Genetic Factors
Genetics play a role in how your skin repairs itself. Those with a family history of acne scarring may be more prone to developing scars.
Duration of Acne
The longer acne persists, the greater the chance of scarring. Extended periods of active acne increase the risk of deep, lasting tissue damage.
Delayed Treatment
Not seeking timely treatment or allowing acne to worsen can significantly increase the risk of scarring.

Treatment Options
Microneedling
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin’s surface. This stimulates the body's natural healing process, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin. The treatment helps improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and pigmentation, and enhance overall skin tone. Microneedling is suitable for all skin types and is known for its ability to promote a smoother, firmer, and more youthful appearance with minimal downtime.
RF & Microneedling Face
RF & Microneedling for the Face combines the benefits of radiofrequency (RF) energy and microneedling to rejuvenate and tighten the skin. RF energy is delivered through the microneedles, stimulating collagen production and improving skin elasticity. This treatment targets fine lines, wrinkles, and skin texture, providing a more youthful, smoother, and firmer appearance. It's an effective, non-invasive solution for facial rejuvenation, with minimal downtime and long-lasting results. RF & microneedling can enhance skin tone, reduce acne scars, and promote overall skin health, making it suitable for most skin types.
PRP Boost
PRP Boost is a rejuvenating treatment that uses your own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to stimulate skin regeneration and collagen production. The process involves drawing a small amount of your blood, separating the platelets, and injecting the PRP back into targeted areas of your face or body. This treatment enhances skin texture, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and promotes a natural, youthful glow. PRP Boost is ideal for individuals seeking a non-invasive solution to improve skin tone, elasticity, and overall appearance, with minimal downtime and long-lasting results.
