Understanding Acne Scars
Root Causes of Acne Scars
- Severe Acne: Particularly cystic acne, which penetrates deep into the skin.
- Inflammation: The more inflamed the acne, the more likely it is to scar.
- Delayed Treatment: Not treating acne promptly can increase the risk of scarring.
- Picking or Squeezing Pimples: This can worsen inflammation and drive infection deeper into the skin.
Types of Acne Scars
Atrophic Scars
Atrophic scars are the most common types of acne scars that are developed when there is a loss of tissue. Some of the main causes include severe acne especially cystic acne can damage the skin and internal tissue. They are flat and shallow depressions that heal below the top layer of skin.
Boxcar scars
Boxcar scars are a type of atrophic scar that causes inflammatory acne that destroys collagen. Symptoms include broad box-like depression on the skin with sharp edges and are usually found on the cheeks and temples. These scars are wider than ice-pick scars and are more prominent on the skin.
Ice pick scars
These scars are deep and narrow and extend into the inner layers. They are caused by severe acne and appear like the skin has been punctured with a sharp object. Ice-pick scars are usually narrower than boxcar scars.
Rolling scars
Rolling scars are another type of atrophic scars that appear in wave-like structures. These scars penetrate deep into the internal layers of the skin’s surface and damage the skin. They create an uneven skin texture and are mostly observed on the cheeks.
Hypertrophic and keloid scars
Also known as raised scars are formed due to excess tissue. They are caused by to overproduction of collagen during the healing process. The symptoms include raised and firm bumps on the skin most commonly appearing on the chest, back, shoulders, and jawline.
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
This condition is characterized by dark spots or discoloration, that are caused after the acne lesion is healed. Symptoms include flat spots of discoloration usually pink, red, brown, or black. Unlike scars, it does not change the texture but the colour of the skin.

Steroid injection
We use steroid injections to reduce the inflammation and flatten the raised scars including hypertrophic and keloid scars. A chemical solution is injected directly into the affected area that breaks down the collagen bonds and reduces the size and appearance of the scar.
Laser resurfacing
Sirajudeen Medical Centre also offers laser acne scar removal treatment in Karama, Dubai. Our doctors use advanced laser technology to target the top layers of skin break down the scar tissue and stimulate collagen production. This process helps in smoothening the skin and reducing the visibility of scars.
Dermabrasion
Dermabrasion is another treatment option that is ideal for patients with superficial scars and looking for intensive treatment options for better results. This involves using a rapidly rotating device to sand down the top layer of the skin, as the skin heals, new and smoother skin replaces the scars.
Chemical peel
Our doctors analyze the skin condition of the patient and offer chemical -peels to exfoliate the skin and reduce the appearance of mild to moderate scares. These peels are chemical solutions applied directly to the skin that causes the top layers of the skin to peel away leading to new and improved skin.
Skin needling
Also known as microneedling, is an effective treatment option to treat atrophic scars by stimulating collagen production. Our doctors use a device with fine needles to create tiny holes in the outer layer of the skin, this triggers the body’s natural healing process and results in brighter and scar-free skin.
Botox Treatment
Botox is another skin treatment option that can help in improving the appearance of certain types of acne scars. These injections work by relaxing the surrounding skin and reducing the tension and are best for patients with scares that cause skin tension or puckering.
