| What causes acne scars? This might seem like a bit of a 'duh' question but it's good to understand the mechanisms at play when scars form. Acne causes inflammation and this inflammation damages the skin and leads to breaks in the moisture barrier. The skin attempts to heal over this damage by laying down connective tissue such as collagen fibres at the site of injury. It is this dysregulated healing process that leads to uneven skin and scarring. Unfortunately, acne scarring can take a long time to heal. There are four types of acne scars.
Why are some people more prone to scars than others? Unfortunately, it's got nothing to do with luck and everything to do with your genes. Acne scarring often depends on our genetics. Individuals with deeper skin tones are at a higher risk of hyperpigmentation due to their larger melanocytes, which produce more melanin. If you have a predisposition to having acne, you are also more likely to scar. It is easier said than done. Prevention is much better than cure. The best way to prevent acne scarring is to prevent the acne in the first place. To do this, one must have a diligent skincare routine that includes elements that focus on oil control and reducing inflammation. A combo of preventative and restorative products is necessary. Make sure you are adequately armed from the get-go. |
