Acne Scarring

What is Acne Scarring and Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation?

Both acne scarring and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentationĀ are common conditions that typically appear after the skin has healed from active acne lesions.

There are various types of acne scarring, these are usually made up of a mix of ice pick scars, which are among the most common types of acne scarring, and are characterised by deep divot-like marks in the skin. Rolling scars, which have sloping edges, different depths and can make the skin look wavy. Boxcar scars, which have broad skin depressions with defined edges and Hypertrophic scars that are elevated or raised scars.

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is dark blemishes leftover from inflammation of the skin. It occurs as the skin produces excess melanin to heal affected areas. While post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is most commonly caused by inflamed acne, it can also appear after allergic reactions, such as hives, and injury to the skin.Ā 

While both acne scarring and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation can differ in severity, they are both conditions that can be improved with the right treatment plan. At OC Skin, we have a variety of bespoke treatments designed to combat acne scarring or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Our advanced RF microneedling treatment, Morpheus8, works by stimulating collagen production which encourages the skin to heal and smooth acne scarring. Microneedling is another treatment option that can also induce cell turnover, which can help to lighten dark marks caused by post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
We also offer a selection of resurfacing chemical peel treatments, including our popular Crystal Peel, AHA Peel, and Mela Peel, each of which targets scarring and pigmentation to reveal a smoother, clearer, and more even complexion.
