Acne & Scar Disorders

Acne and scar disorders are widespread dermatological diseases that afflict people of all ages, notably adolescents and young adults. Acne Vulgaris develops when hair follicles become blocked with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria, leading to blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, nodules, or cysts. Acne severity can be affected by several factors, including hormonal changes, heredity, stress, and lifestyle behaviours. If left untreated or managed inadequately, acne may lead to irreversible scarring and pigmentation changes.

Acne Scars are caused by inflammation that goes deep into the skin, destroying the collagen and tissue inside. Common kinds are atrophic scars (ice-pick, boxcar, and rolling), hypertrophic scars, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

These scars can change the texture, appearance, and self-confidence of the skin.
Depending on how bad the acne is, it can be treated with topical medicines, oral antibiotics, chemical peels, laser therapy, and hormones. We can use microneedling, dermal fillers, laser resurfacing, subcision, and collagen induction techniques to repair scars. Prompt diagnosis and expert dermatologic management can avoid long-term skin damage and enhance outcomes. A personalised treatment plan is key to having brighter, healthier skin and lowering the risk of future scarring.
