"My acne has calmed down,

but the marks left behind are even more stressful."

This is something many people who visit us because of acne say.

Many people say that the red or brown marks and indented scars left behind after their acne has calmed down bother them for longer than the acne itself did when it was active.

Although acne marks may look similar, the appropriate treatment differs depending on what stage they are in and what type they are.

If you try to remove them all at once without distinguishing between them, they may not fade well and may even become darker.

So today, let’s talk about how acne marks should be treated.

It is easy to think of acne marks as one thing, but in reality, they vary depending on their timing and type.

They can broadly be divided into reddish marks, brown pigmentation that has settled in, and indented scars.

Reddish acne marks

Reddish marks occur when blood vessels remain visible through the skin where inflammation has subsided, while brown pigmentation develops when melanin remains in that area.

Indented scars are depressions formed when deep inflammation damages the tissue beneath the skin.

Therefore, rather than broadly saying that you are “removing acne marks,” the first step is to determine what stage your skin is currently in.

However, if inflammation is still active and raised redness is present, calming the inflammation should come before treating the marks.

This is because treating the marks may actually make the acne marks and scars worse.

If your acne keeps recurring, reading the article below first may be helpful.

The marks left after acne has calmed down require different approaches depending on their type.

Reddish marks often become lighter over time. They have the greatest potential to fade naturally.

However, if the redness persists over time, the blood vessels may still be dilated, making vascular laser treatment necessary.

Brown pigmentation may also fade over time, but it often remains and fades slowly.

Since most brown pigmentation remains close to the surface of the skin, it responds well to an approach using laser toning.

Indented scars are the most challenging to treat.

Procedures such as Potenza or Pico Fraxel may help by stimulating collagen production inside the depressions, sometimes in combination with procedures such as Juvelook.

As you can see, even from these examples, the treatment method differs depending on the condition of the skin.

It is important to first determine what condition your acne marks are in and then take an approach suited to that stage.

If you are looking for an acne dermatology clinic in Yeongdeungpo, rather than trying to remove the marks all at once, first examine what stage your skin is currently in.

This is because what needs to be done differs depending on whether your acne is in its active stage or you are in the stage where marks have been left behind.

To prevent the marks from becoming darker as you rush to remove them, we recommend proceeding gradually and according to their stage.
