Acne Marks are red marks or brown marks left on the skin where acne has occurred but now the acne has cleared.<\/h2>\n

Most acne patients feel these red or brown marks make their skin appear more broken out and uneven than it is and is a common complaint among acne patients.<\/p>\n

Treatments are available to help lighten and remove these acne marks. Also, a series of superficial chemical peels<\/a>, such as Beta Peels<\/a> or\u00a0DiamondGlow™<\/a> or laser treatments (such as Genesis <\/a>or photorejuvenation<\/a>) can be effective.<\/p>\n

Acne scars come in 3 main types- rolling, boxcar, icepick, and many combinations of the 3.\u00a0 Rolling scars are those, which are like broad, low hills.\u00a0 Boxcar scars are those that have a thick, hard center, often white, that pulls down on the center.\u00a0 Ice pick scars are very narrow and deep.\u00a0 These are all \u201catrophic\u201d scars meaning there is an overall loss of skin.\u00a0 Most acne scar treatments attempt to either remove or replace abnormal tissue and to stimulate new collagen formation to fill in old scars.\u00a0 It is important to get the acne under control as many treatments for scarring can cause acute acne to worsen.\u00a0 It also is not a good idea to put the energy, time, and monetary investment into fixing the scars if you are continuing to make new ones.\u00a0 We favor 3 forms of fractionated resurfacing:\u00a0 the eMatrix<\/a>, a radiofrequency device, the Fraxel Repair<\/a> and CO2 laser resurfacing<\/a>, or CO2RE<\/a>. Other treatments include Dermaroller, subcision and injectable fillers, <\/a>such as Bellafill\u00ae<\/a>.\u00a0 Due to the variety of scars in acne, a combined approach is often needed for optimal results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
