Acne Scars Treatment
Get Rid of Acne Scars

Acne scars can leave a long-term effect on both your skin and self-confidence. At Appearance Clinic Australia, the leading aesthetic skin clinic in Melbourne, we provide a range of treatments designed to effectively reduce and manage acne scars, helping you achieve smoother, clearer skin.

Causes of Acne Scars

Several factors contribute to the development of acne scars, including:

  • Inflammatory Acne: Severe, inflamed pimples that penetrate the skin deeply are more likely to leave scars.
  • Delayed Treatment: Prolonged untreated acne increases the likelihood of scarring.
  • Picking or Squeezing Pimples: Manipulating pimples can damage the skin and worsen the risk of scars.
  • Genetics: A family history of acne scarring can increase your chances of developing scars.

Available Treatments for Acne Scars

At Appearance Clinic Australia, we offer a range of treatments to reduce acne scars. Our treatments are tailored to meet your individual needs and help you achieve clearer, healthier skin.

  1. Topical Treatments
    • Retinoids: Vitamin A derivatives that help promote skin cell turnover and improve the texture of scars.
    • Exfoliating Creams: These help in smoothing out the skin by removing dead cells and promoting new skin growth.
  2. Professional Treatments
    • Chemical Peels: Removes damaged skin cells and promotes new skin growth, reducing the appearance of scars.
    • Laser Treatments: Fractional lasers target scarred skin, stimulating collagen production and improving skin texture.
    • Microneedling: Creates tiny micro-injuries in the skin, which triggers collagen production and helps reduce the appearance of scars.
    • Dermal Fillers: Injected into indented scars, these fillers help create smoother, even skin by plumping the area.
    • Subcision: A minor surgical procedure that involves breaking down the fibrous tissues pulling the skin down, helping to raise depressed scars.

What are Acne Scars?

Acne scars are the result of inflammation caused by acne blemishes. When the pore swells, it causes a breakdown in the wall of the follicle. Shallow lesions are usually minor and heal quickly, but if there is a deeper break in the follicle wall, the infected material can spill out and damage surrounding tissue, leading to scars. Acne scars commonly appear on the face but can also occur on the back, chest, and shoulders.

Frequently Asked Questions

While over-the-counter products can improve the texture of your skin, severe acne scars often require professional treatments for noticeable improvement. Home remedies may help lighten superficial scars, but for deep or persistent scars, professional care is recommended.

Treating acne early and avoiding picking or squeezing pimples can help prevent scarring. Using proper skincare and consulting with a professional for acne management is crucial to minimising the risk of scars.

The best treatment depends on the type and severity of the scars. Laser treatments, microneedling, and chemical peels are all effective methods for reducing acne scars. Consulting with a dermatologist or aesthetic specialist can help determine the most suitable option.

Acne scars can be permanent, but they can be significantly improved with proper treatment. Early intervention and professional treatments can reduce their appearance and, in some cases, eliminate them entirely.
