Embarrassment, lack of self-confidence, low self-esteem and a lot of stress are some of the "imprints" left by acne and more specifically its scars on the emotional health of people who decide to seek treatment. The good news is that modern medical technology provides answers to the treatment of acne scars, significantly improving the texture of the skin and making us feel good!
Scars: Part of a natural process
The scars that remain on the skin after acne are essentially part of the skin's natural healing process. As the skin clears of acne the body tries to repair the damage by producing collagen. Producing too much or too little collagen can appear on the skin as scar, i.e. an area of discolored fibrous tissue where collagen production has been ordered. The type of scar that will eventually form also depends on the amount of collagen produced.
A very important role, however, in preventing the appearance of scars is the immediate treatment of acne and not letting the condition become more serious which can lead to extensive scarring.
Who is more sensitive to scars
We certainly do not know in advance who will develop acne scars during their lifetime. However, there are factors that predispose to the appearance of acne scars, such as:
- Inflammatory acne, which is often characterized by cysts and nodules, which form deep in the skin, causing damage.
- Delay in the treatment of acne is proportional to the likelihood of scarring. That is, as long as the first is delayed, the second also increases.
- Prohibited "teasing", or "stinging" and pressure on the pimples can create acne scars.
- The family medical history of acne scars.
The above factors do not imply the appearance of scars, since there are people who have a predisposition but do not show scars.
Treatment for scars and..confidence
Treating scars or acne scars is a subjective matter. Some people do not seem to be bothered by the scars left by acne, while others believe that it affects not only the skin but also their daily life, their lifestyle and their psychology.
This second category of patients is very often encountered by dermatologists, who seek advice on the best available treatments for scarring.
