Acne & Acne Scarring

Acne is a common skin condition that affects people of all ages, often leading to scarring and hyperpigmentation that can persist long after breakouts have healed. At Renew MedSpa, we specialize in effective treatments that not only target active acne but also work to reduce and diminish the appearance of acne scars. Understanding the causes and available treatments for acne and acne scars can help you take the first step toward healthier, clearer skin.

What Causes Acne?

Acne occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to inflammation and breakouts. Contributing factors include hormonal changes, stress, diet, and bacteria. While many experience occasional blemishes, persistent or severe acne can result in long-term scarring. Acne scars develop when breakouts penetrate deeply into the skin, damaging collagen and leaving behind marks that vary in severity and appearance.

Types of Acne Scars

• Atrophic Scars: Depressed scars that occur due to collagen loss. These include:
  • Ice Pick Scars: Deep, narrow scars.
  • Boxcar Scars: Broad, rectangular depressions.
  • Rolling Scars: Indented, wavy scars.
• Hypertrophic & Keloid Scars: Raised scars caused by excess collagen production.
• Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Dark spots left behind after acne heals.
