"I have wedding photos coming up,

but because of acne scars,

my skin looks so messy."

Acne scars are truly one of the most stressful concerns.

Especially when you have an important appointment, interview, or photo shoot coming up, even if you try to cover them with makeup, they often do not hide as well as you expect, which makes them even more noticeable.

This is not simply a matter of color, but because the skin’s surface texture and overall pattern have changed.

So this time, I’ll explain step by step how to identify acne scars and what treatment methods are used for each type.

Yeongdeungpo Types of Acne Scars

Acne scars are not a single form; they appear in different ways depending on how they develop.

Because the treatment method can also differ according to each feature, let’s take a closer look at each one below.

  1. Erythematous scars (red marks)

Even after acne subsides, redness can remain on the skin.

This is commonly called an erythematous scar.

Although it may look as if color has been left behind, in reality it is a state in which the dilated capillaries after inflammation have not fully returned to normal.

If this period is not managed properly, the red marks may remain for a long time or develop into another type.

  1. Hyperpigmentation (PIH)

Brown or grayish marks. These occur when melanin is overproduced after inflammation.

Sun exposure, repeated irritation, and excessive squeezing can all have an effect, and recovery often takes longer than with erythema.

  1. Atrophic scars (depressed scars)

This is the part that many people worry about the most.

It is a state in which the dermal layer of the skin has been damaged and the collagen structure has collapsed.

Typically, they are divided into:

  • Rolling type (gently depressed)

  • Boxcar type (distinctly bordered depression)

  • Ice pick type (deep, narrow pits)

and the treatment response differs depending on the shape.

Yeongdeungpo acne scars What are the treatment methods by type?

First, there are acne scars that remain as red marks.

This is typically referred to as an erythematous scar.

This is not a depressed scar; rather, it is a state in which blood vessels have expanded after acne inflammation.

In this case, the priority is treatment that reduces the dilated blood vessels.

For this, vascular lasers such as DermaV or Vbeam are used.

First, Vbeam is a laser that uses a 595nm wavelength and has the characteristic of selectively reacting to hemoglobin in the blood.

Because it directly targets dilated blood vessels and focuses on reducing redness, it is mainly used when erythema is pronounced.

DermaV is also a vascular laser device.

By using multiple wavelengths together, it is used not only to improve vascular responses but also to overall refine skin tone and texture.

For example, the 532nm wavelength acts on superficial pigmentation and red marks close to the skin’s surface, helping brighten the overall complexion.

On the other hand, the 1064nm wavelength reaches deeper into the dermis, inducing collagen and elastin regeneration and helping improve skin elasticity and overall skin condition.

In addition, when using the fractional handpiece,

the energy is delivered in finely divided portions and can also be used to more evenly refine pores and skin texture.

In actual treatment, depending on the extent and intensity of the red marks,

one of the two devices may be selected, or they may be combined as appropriate for the condition.

While some people are concerned about red marks, others are stressed by depressed scars.

For these cases, Icon laser may also be used.

Icon laser works by delivering fine thermal stimulation to the dermal layer.

The key to acne scar treatment is regenerating the damaged collagen structure left behind after inflammation has passed.

Because Icon laser stimulates the dermis and induces collagen regeneration, it can approach deep, depressed scars more effectively.

Since the approach differs depending on the condition even for the same acne scar, accurate classification is important.

Yeongdeungpo acne scars How to prevent scars from forming

Scars do not always remain simply because acne appears; it depends on how deep and how long the inflammation lasts.

First, it is important not to let inflammation drag on for too long.

If acne is left alone, the inflammation gradually becomes deeper

and affects the inside of the skin, especially the dermal layer.

If it progresses to this stage, the likelihood of it leading to scarring increases, so it needs to be addressed quickly.

It is also important not to squeeze it with your hands.

Most people know they should not do it, but in reality, it is one of the most common repeated actions.

The problem is that during squeezing, pressure can be transmitted deep into the skin and damage the structure itself.

In particular, if you touch it while it is inflamed, the collagen is often damaged, which can lead to depressed scars.

Lastly, it is necessary not to overly irritate the skin.

Some people wash their face too aggressively or repeatedly scrub because they have a lot of sebum.

When this happens, the skin barrier weakens, making inflammation more likely to recur.

Eventually, acne keeps coming back, and the likelihood of scarring also increases along with it.

Today, we looked at the types of Yeongdeungpo acne scars and the treatment methods that vary depending on the condition.

In practice, it is important not only to improve scars that have already formed, but also to reduce how often acne recurs in the first place.

After all, if the underlying cause is not reduced, new scars can keep forming.

So in some cases, treatment that controls sebum glands, such as NeoBeam, may also be combined to reduce acne occurrence itself.

Another important point is that, as mentioned earlier, acne scars can appear in many forms.

That means the treatment approach must also differ.

Therefore, I hope you receive treatment at a place that carefully diagnoses your current skin condition.
