Acne scars form from inflammation, which can interfere with your body’s natural healing process. Usually, when you have scars, your skin relies on collagen to replace the damaged skin cells with new, healthy ones. While this process generally works well, sometimes, your skin doesn’t produce enough collagen, resulting in indented scars. Other times, your body makes too much, leading to raised scars.
In some cases, you aren’t left with indented or raised scars, but post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation instead, which displays as pink, red, brown, or even bluish gray spots on the skin. Our pimple scar treatment in Plano can also address this discoloration.
