Understand acne scarring and explore personalised care for pitted scars, uneven skin texture and visible marks left by previous breakouts.
Understanding Scars Left by Acne
Acne scarring develops when inflammation from acne damages the skin and alters the way it heals. Some scars appear as shallow depressions, while others form deeper pits or raised areas. Scar types may occur together.
At Belle Clinic, our doctor assesses scar depth, type, skin tone and active breakouts before discussing appropriate options, possible risks and realistic expectations.
Acne scars vary in depth, shape and texture. Here are common changes that may remain after breakouts.
Deep, narrow indentations that leave small pits after inflamed acne heals.
Broad skin depressions with sharper edges that create uneven skin texture.
Shallow, wave-like depressions that can make the skin surface look uneven.
Small, visible depressions left behind after inflamed pimples have healed.
Different scarring shapes and depths may appear together on the same face.
Thicker, raised scars that develop when facial skin produces extra tissue.
Indented marks across your cheeks that become visible under side lighting.
Visible shadowing from depressed scars, particularly in indirect daylight.
