Acne Scarring

Acne scars are the physical marks left on the skin due to inflammation and trauma from acne breakouts, ranging from red and dark spots to indentations. If you're concerned about acne scarring, trust your skin to the experts at DERM Lab in North Vancouver.

What is Acne Scarring?

Acne scarring can take various forms, ranging from dark spots known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation to redness to more pronounced indentations such as boxcar scars, rolling scars, icepick scars, or pitted scars. Acne scarring is due to the trauma inflicted on the skin and pores during the inflammatory process of acne, coupled with improper healing.
