Can Deep Jamsil Acne Scars Be Treated?

Can deep Jamsil acne scars be treated?

“Acne scars on my cheeks are severe,

and no matter what I do, they won’t even fade...

If the scars are deep, is there nothing that can be done?”

Acne scars do not always improve on their own, and even when you try ointments or various other methods, there are many cases where they show little effect.

That is why acne scars are so difficult to remove once they form.

Today, we’ll explain in an easy-to-understand way why acne scars form, why they do not easily disappear, the types of acne scars, and what methods can be used to improve them.

Why acne leaves scars

First, let’s look at why acne leaves scars.

Our skin is broadly divided into the epidermis and the dermis.

The epidermis is the outer layer we can see and touch, and the dermis below it is made up of elements that form the skin, such as collagen and elastic fibers.

If acne inflammation is limited to the epidermis, it usually recovers without leaving a scar.

However, if the inflammation penetrates deep into the dermis and destroys collagen tissue, problems arise. The skin cannot return to its original shape and becomes sunken or uneven.

Scars are especially likely to remain in these cases:

• When severe inflammatory, pus-filled acne is left untreated for a long time
• When acne is squeezed incorrectly and the inflammation becomes deeper
• When the skin’s regenerative ability is weak
• When acne repeatedly occurs in the same area

Why scars do not heal naturally

Sometimes, when a scar is not very severe, there are people who hold out hope that it might heal naturally.

Unfortunately, depressed acne scars do not disappear on their own.

The reason is that during the healing process of acne, the epidermis and dermis become abnormally adhered and hardened.

In normal skin, new tissue is formed in the dermis and delivered up to the epidermis, allowing the skin to regenerate.

But in scarred areas, this regenerative pathway is blocked, so even if new tissue is formed underneath, it cannot rise to the surface.

Also, as time passes after a scar forms, scar tissue tends to harden more, which makes later improvement even more difficult.

Types of acne scars

Acne scars can be broadly divided into four types.

Because the shape and depth differ by type, treatment effectiveness and duration also differ, so it is important to identify them accurately first.

1. Ice pick scars

As the name suggests, these are narrow, deeply indented scars as if they were pierced by an ice pick. Even if the visible area looks small, they are deeply rooted beneath the dermis.

They mainly appear on the cheeks, and from a distance they can also look like enlarged pores.

2. Boxcar scars

These are scars with clear borders and a square-shaped depression. From the side, they look like a box turned upside down, with a sharply angled shape.

They usually appear around the cheekbones or across the cheeks, and at first glance they may resemble chickenpox marks.

3. Rolling scars

These are broad scars with soft borders and a gentle depression, like the bottom of a shallow dish.

They may look large, but because they are relatively shallow, they tend to respond better to treatment.

4. Mixed scars

This refers to a combination of several scar types.

It is the type seen when acne repeatedly appears in various forms over a long period, creating different scar shapes depending on skin thickness and the area involved.

What treatment methods are available?

The key to treating acne scars is this:

“To apply appropriate stimulation to the skin and induce collagen regeneration.”

By using the body’s wound-healing response and applying suitable stimulation to the scarred area, new collagen is formed and accumulates to fill in the depressed area.

Let’s look at two representative treatment methods.

Pico Fractional device (PicoHigh)

• Pico Fractional

This is a method that delivers laser energy in an extremely short unit of time called picoseconds.

As a result, it causes less damage to the epidermis and creates tiny holes only in the targeted dermis, encouraging collagen regeneration around them.

Because epidermal damage is minimal, recovery time is also relatively short.

• Sylfirm X

This procedure inserts fine needles into the skin and directly delivers radiofrequency energy to the depth of the scar.

The radiofrequency heat contracts collagen in the dermis and promotes the production of new collagen.

Because the needle depth can be adjusted, it has the characteristic of being able to treat everything from shallow scars to deep scars in a variety of ways.

Many people hope that acne scars will heal naturally, but in reality, Jamsil acne scars involve dermal damage, so natural healing is difficult.

Therefore, the first step in treating scars is to accurately identify the scar type and choose a method that matches it.

It is best to prevent scars from forming in the first place, but if they have already formed, we recommend getting an accurate examination at a place that provides careful diagnosis and then receiving treatment with an appropriate method.
