Acne scars are permanent textural or pigment changes that occur after inflammation caused by breakouts. They can appear as depressions (atrophic scars), raised bumps (hypertrophic scars), or dark marks (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation). These scars form when the skin’s healing process is disrupted. Professional treatments can smooth the skin’s surface and reduce discoloration over time.
Most patients see noticeable improvement within three to six sessions, depending on the type and severity of acne scars.
