Acne Pitted Scars: If At-Home Care Is Not Helping, Getting a Procedure Is a Good Option

Acne is a skin condition that can appear across a wide range of age groups, from adolescence to adulthood.

It is not simply a skin trouble, but rather an acne condition caused by inflammatory reactions within the pores. If it is not properly managed or if appropriate treatment is not received early, acne scars may develop due to a combination of factors such as hormonal changes, stress, and lack of sleep.

In particular, the hot and humid weather and strong ultraviolet rays in summer can trigger excessive sebum production and cause pigmentation, which may make the skin tone appear uneven.

There may be limits to at-home care for acne scars caused by acne.

In most cases, acne scars can affect not only the skin’s surface but also the deeper dermal layer. Products used for at-home care tend to focus on improving the skin’s surface, so it may be difficult to sufficiently improve scars in deeper layers.

There are various types of acne scars, and management methods should differ according to each type. However, even identifying the form of the scar can be difficult, and to improve acne scars, it is important to help promote the production of collagen and elastin. Still, acne scar at-home care products may have limitations.

In such cases, there is a procedure for pitted acne scars called "Metricel" that may be helpful.

Metricel is a procedure that uses a laser that reacts only to moisture when applied to the skin, allowing for shallow exfoliation and regeneration in tiny dot-like patterns. Through Metricel, it can help refine deeper acne scars and the surrounding area, and by using laser functions to narrow pores, it may help with pitted acne scar procedures and smoothing uneven skin.

Metricel has excellent moisture absorption, allowing the reconstruction of new cellular tissue without thermal damage to surrounding tissue.

⚠️ After the Metricel procedure, scabs may form, but please leave them alone until they fall off naturally and be careful not to irritate them.

Scabs may naturally fall off in about 4 to 5 days.

⚠️ For about one week after the procedure, it is better to avoid alcohol, saunas, steam rooms, and strenuous exercise.

⚠️ Apply regenerative cream and moisturizer frequently to help soothe the skin.

⚠️ Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays carries a risk of pigmentation, so apply sunscreen carefully when going বাইরে.

Each person’s skin condition, age, and type of acne scars are different, and carrying out the most suitable procedure for pitted acne scars based on these factors is more important in acne scar treatment. Therefore, if you are struggling because at-home care for acne scars is not improving the condition, it may also help to receive an appropriate treatment after fully consulting with medical staff to understand your skin condition and choose the right care for healthier skin.
