What Makes You Prone to Acne Scarring?

Genetics : If acne and acne scarring is common in your family, you’re more like to get acne scars.

Late treatment/absence of treatment :- While we all know that there are acne types that do not respond to common treatment methods, it’s still important to try and minimize their amount from the beginning. Less acne means less chances for scars.

Skin Type :- All people have different skin. The types that have large pores are more likely to develop acne. Larger pores also suggest that the acne may be positioned deep inside the skin, thus increasing the chances of leaving a scar.

Picking and squeezing :- Do not pick or squeeze your acne. Picking acne can increase the amount of damage caused to your skin which will only increase the chances of scarring.

Prevention for acne, pimples and scars :-

The best way to treat acne scars is to prevent them from developing in the first place. Here are some tips on how you can prevent pimple scars:-

Avoid Sun Exposure :- Exposing active acne to the sun makes you more prone to developing permanent, visible scars, since the ultraviolet rays of sun slow down the healing process, causing the zit to darken.

Don’t Pick or Squeeze :- Picking leads to skin inflammation, causing pus and bacteria to infiltrate into the wound, and the result is deep, indented scar.

Don’t use Vitamin on active Acne :- A latest research has found that applying the nutrient directly onto acne scars leads to delayed healing.

Fillers :- Use cosmetic fillers to improve the appearance of acne scars. Hyaluronic acid or fat can be injected under scars to fill in depressions, providing a more even texture to the skin

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy :- Repair the scars by Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy. Your own blood is taken and platelets, which are rich in growth factors, are concentrated. These are then injected at the base of the scars leading to repair of scars and more even skin.

Cosmetic Procedures:- If you have failed to get satisfactory results with home remedies, consult our dermatologist to help in this regard.
