The Condition
What Are Acne Scars?
Acne scars are permanent textural changes and indentations that remain on the skin after severe breakouts have healed. They form when inflamed blemishes, such as painful cysts or nodules, penetrate deeply and damage the underlying skin tissue. Too little collagen creates pitted depressions, while too much leaves raised bumps.
Dealing with these lasting marks can be frustrating and affect your self-esteem. However, professional aesthetic procedures can successfully stimulate natural skin repair and provide a clearer finish.
The Triggers
What Causes Acne?
Several specific factors determine whether a blemish will leave a permanent mark:
Severe Breakouts
Inflammatory types of acne, like deep cysts and nodules, carry the highest risk of damaging the lower skin layers.
Delayed Treatment
Leaving aggressive breakouts untreated for long periods increases the likelihood of severe tissue breakdown.
Picking or Squeezing
Popping spots pushes harmful bacteria deeper into the pore, causing a risk of a permanent scar.
Genetics
Your unique DNA influences how your skin heals and how much collagen your body naturally produces during the repair process.
Sun Exposure
Unprotected sun exposure darkens healing tissue, making scars much more noticeable.
The Varieties
Types of Acne Scars
Acne leaves behind marks in various forms based on how your skin heals:
Ice Pick Scars: Deep, narrow, V-shaped holes that look like small punctures in the skin.
Boxcar Scars: Broad, U-shaped depressions with sharp, defined edges, commonly found on the lower cheeks.
Rolling Scars: Wide depressions with sloping edges that give the skin an uneven, wavy texture.
Hypertrophic Scars: Firm, raised bumps caused by the body producing excess collagen during healing.
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation: Flat, discoloured red or dark brown marks that remain after a spot heals.

Natural & Balanced
I’ve had such an amazing experience here.💕 I’ve now been twice for lip filler and today I had chin filler, and every time the results have been incredible. He is honestly the best so kind, friendly, and professional. He takes the time to explain everything and makes you feel completely at ease. I felt really comfortable knowing my face was in good hands, which is so important with treatments like this. The results are exactly what I wanted, very natural and balanced. I wouldn’t go anywhere else and would highly recommend to anyone thinking about aesthetic treatments. Thank you so much!
Well Looked After
Firstly a consultation and peel with Swathi, she really took the time to listen and give me appropriate advice on how to rejuvenate my skin, which is exactly what I hoped for. Dr Naren removed a milia for me, it was swift, professional and healed very quickly with perfect results. Both of them have an absolutely lovely manner which puts you at ease, instills trust and makes you feel well looked after. I look forward to continuing my treatments with them.
Long-Term Natural Results
If you’re looking to enhance your natural beauty, Dr Naren is simply the man for the job. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. He takes his time, ensures you are comfortable and knowledgeable about what can be achieved. He focuses on long-term natural results rather than quick fixes. My enhanced natural beauty has replaced my previous artificial, unsightly era. I’m sure he applies the same care and magic to all his clients.
In Safe Hands
