Fighting acne is tough. Even if you control breakouts, the scars left behind can stick around, affecting your confidence. These scars are more than just blemishes; they can impact how you feel about yourself, leading many to search for acne scar treatments in Singapore.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What Are Acne Scars?<\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/div>

When your skin is damaged, it repairs itself. This process of repair creates a newer formation of skin that is uneven from the original layer, resulting in visual scarring. Acne scars are formed when your skin heals from a serious acne inflammation that has reached into the deeper dermis layer. Conversely, superficial infections such as blackheads and whiteheads rarely result in scars.<\/p>

A person suffering from acne scarring can present more than one type of acne scar. Hence, multiple types of acne scar treatments are combined to produce the best result.

Acne Scar Removal \u2013 Is It Possible?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The answer is not so straightforward. We must first understand that scarred skin is fundamentally different from normal skin. Collagen plays an important role in our skin quality and appearance. When a scar forms, the amount and ratio of various types of collagen is disrupted. Under the microscope, the collagen found in scar tissue is also arranged differently as compared to normal skin. These differences are almost impossible to reverse back to normal.<\/p>

However, scar removal treatments aim to break down scar tissue, and promote neocollagenesis, or the formation of new collagen in the skin, in an organised manner. This results in the appearance of the scar to be visually as close as possible to normal skin. In the best case scenario, the treated scars will be visually identical to normal skin, even though they may still appear different under the microscope.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Acne scars are mainly divided into two categories: atrophic scars caused by loss of tissue, and hypertrophic scars caused by an overgrowth of scar tissue.<\/p>

There\u2019s also a misconception that discolourations<\/a> left behind by acne are acne scars; in fact, these are post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and will fade naturally over time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Ice pick scars are deep, narrow scars that extend into the dermis and resemble puncture wounds. Due to their depth, they are often difficult to treat. These scars commonly result from severe inflammatory acne, especially cystic acne. When a deep skin infection occurs, it destroys the collagen and tissues, leaving behind these narrow, deep pits.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Boxcar scars are broad, rectangular, or oval depressions with steep, well-defined edges. They are wider than ice pick scars and can be either shallow or deep. Inflammatory acne, such as cysts or nodules, often leads to boxcar scars. These scars can also result from chickenpox or other skin conditions that cause significant tissue loss.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Rolling scars are wide depressions with rounded, sloping edges, giving the skin a wavy appearance. They occur due to damage beneath the skin, causing a tethered effect. Chronic inflammatory acne, particularly when left untreated, can cause rolling scars. These scars often result from long-term inflammation and repeated skin damage<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Collagen, a building block of the skin, is often produced as part of wound healing. However, the skin can at times also produce an excessive amount of collagen. This results in a mass of raised tissue on the skin\u2019s surface \u2013 a hypertrophic scar or keloid.<\/p>

Certain areas of our bodies are more prone to keloid scars, such as the jawline, upper chest and upper back.<\/p>

While acne scars cannot be completely and perfectly removed, they can be reduced and minimised in appearance.<\/p>

But Singapore patients often wonder what is THE best treatment for acne scars. The answer is that there is simply no one treatment that is the best in resolving acne scars.<\/p>

First, not all acne scars are built or made the same. There is no one-size-fits-all acne scar treatment. Second, patients respond to treatments differently from others.<\/p>

Hence, acne scar treatments are highly individualised; a treatment plan must be created by a doctor following a thorough consultation and understanding of the patient\u2019s medical history and personal habits.<\/p>

    Acne Scar Removal \u2013 Is It Possible?<\/span><\/h2><\/div>

    One fact that must be highlighted beforehand is that complete removal of acne scars is medically unachievable. Scarring is a permanent condition. Treatments may improve the condition, but rarely remove it.<\/p>

    The simple reason is that skin is unable to restore acne wounds, or any deep wounds for that matter, into its original state of uniform layers and textures.<\/p>

    The collagen and other tissues produced during the healing process cannot form a seamless layer with the rest of the healthy skin tissue.<\/p>

    To date, current scar treatments do not possess the capability to create a seamless healing process in the skin. This is why the aim of acne scar treatments is to improve the appearance of acne scars, not to cure or remove them.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Atrophic Scars<\/strong><\/p>

    \"\"<\/p><\/div><\/div>

    \u00a0<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    When a scar heals below the normal level or layer of skin, a depression is formed. This is called an atrophic scar. This occurs when the skin is unable to regenerate tissue and collagen lost from an acne breakout.<\/p>

    The size and depth of an atrophic scar depends on the amount of inflammation there was in the acne. The more severe the inflammation, the bigger and deeper an atrophic scar gets.<\/p>

    Atrophic scars are commonly found on the face. Examples include icepick, boxcar, and rolling scars.<\/p>

    Both lasers fire beams of light into the deeper layers of the skin, thereby creating a grid of tiny openings.<\/p>

    Your skin then repairs these openings by pushing out damaged and uneven skin. This is then replaced with younger, healthier skin. Residual heat generated by the light energy also helps remodel your skin\u2019s collagen web.<\/p>

    Finally, your acne scar will be visibly reduced over a course of sessions as recommended by our doctor; your complexion will feel smoother to the touch. What\u2019s more, your skin\u2019s pore size will also be minimised.<\/p>
