Any type of Acne can lead to scarring, but it’s more common as a result of having acne vulgaris or cystic acne. There are three different types of acne scarring:

Boxcar Scars

Acne scars are a common skin condition that can occur after someone has had a pimple or zit. They are usually small, raised scars that can be red, pink, or flesh-colored. Boxcar scars are one type of acne scar that can be treated with a variety of methods. There are two main types of boxcar scars: shallow and deep. Shallow boxcar scars are less than 2mm deep, while deep boxcar scars are more than 2mm deep. Both types of scars can be treated with laser resurfacing. Laser resurfacing uses a laser to remove the top layer of skin, which helps to improve the appearance of shallow boxcar scars.

Ice-Pick Scars

Acne scars are a type of scarring that can occur as a result of acne. Acne scars are most commonly seen in people with fair skin, but can occur in people with all skin types. Ice-pick scars are small, deep scars that look like they were made by an ice pick. They are the most common type of acne scar and can be difficult to treat. The treatment for this type of scar is also laser resurfacing, this treatment can help both improve and in some cases almost completely reslove any acne scars.

Rolling Scars

Rolling scars are one type of scar that can be difficult to treat. Rolling scars are characterized by depressed areas of the skin that have a rolling or wave-like appearance. They are often caused by damage to the skin’s collagen and can be difficult to treat. Treatment for this is laser resurfacing. If you have rolling scars, it is important to consult with our dermatologist. We will be able to assess your individual case and determine the best course of action for you.
