What are Acne Scars?

Acne scars develop on the skin after damage has been done to the dermis or outer layer, which is usually caused by blemishes. When damage to the dermis occurs, the body creates collagen to fix the damage. Though the body is good at healing damage without leaving evidence, prolonged or severe damage causes the body to produce too much or too little collagen. Severe acne can cause this excess or lack of college leaving scars behind.

  • Hypertonic Acne Scars – Hypertrophic acne scars create a raised area on the skin and do not extend beyond the boundary of the original wound. Unlike most acne scars, hypertonic scars can diminish in size and appearance over time.
