It is normal to feel helpless and unsure of how to improve your skin condition. We are here to tell you that you can improve your acne scars with our Acne Scars Treatment in Singapore!
Acne scars and pores are the facial skin texture’s worst nightmare. Uneven skin texture causes the skin to look dull and unattractive. Thus, it can make a person feel self-conscious and reclusive, due to fear of judgement based on physical appearance.
Acne causes both acne scars and acne marks.
Acne scars are permanent skin textural changes on the skin due to moderate to severe acne. Generally, they are indentations on the skin that appear in different forms. Such as, when a person picks or ruptures cystic acne on the skin, acne scars may occur. These scars are usually permanent.
Acne marks, on the other hand, are reddish or brownish skin discolouration due to acne. These are known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or erythema. These marks usually fade with time even without treatment.
A acne scars are categorized into 5 different types:
Some acne scars elevate on the face, such as elevated hypertrophic scars and keloid acne scars.
It is important to get your acne scars assessed appropriately before getting any treatment. Different scars respond to various treatments differently. Therefore, a correct diagnosis is important before deciding on which treatment to go for.
Many factors will be taken into consideration during scar assessment, such as the skin type, the type of scars and the severity of scars.
After consultation with our doctor, some of the following treatments may be recommended to you.

If there is insufficient sun protection and diligent skincare maintenance following an acne scar laser treatment, it may result in post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Therefore, it is important to follow post-laser advice.
Skin infection is uncommon, hence, anti-infection medication may be prescribed to avoid such complications.
If there is post-treatment downtime, it is mainly due to redness, swelling, or bruising. These will normally go away on their own in a few days. a
Some acne scars may be more difficult to improve than conventional scars. A variety of treatments may be utilised to treat these scars for such circumstances. Our doctor will assess the severity of your acne scars and propose the best treatment options for you.
