Acne scars are permanent textural changes and indentations that appear on the skin following severe acne. These scars form when the acne deeply penetrates the skin and damages the underlying tissues. During the healing process, the body produces collagen — too much or too little of it can result in a scar. Acne scars are not just cosmetic problems; they often reflect deeper skin damage and may require professional intervention to be effectively managed or removed.
Understanding the type of acne scar is important in choosing the right treatment. At Leela Superspeciality Hospital, Dr. Kiran Ardad-Mane diagnoses the type and depth of scars before initiating treatment. Common types of acne scars include:

Deep, narrow scars that extend into the dermis. These are some of the most challenging scars to treat.

Broad, rectangular depressions with well-defined edges, are often found on the cheeks and temples.

These are wide depressions with sloping borders that give the skin a wave-like appearance.

Raised, thick scars that result from excess collagen production during the healing process.

Not true scars but dark spots that remain after acne has healed.
Acne scars are typically the result of inflamed scars caused by skin pores engorged with excess oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. Some common causes include:
