Acne Scars

Acne can have a damaging effect on both your appearance and your self-esteem. At Bayou City Dermatology, we understand that men and women who have acne often have sensitive skin as well. As such, we’re able to treat among the most severe forms of acne – without irritating your skin.

Dealing with acne scarring

Even when the breakouts finally end, individuals are often left with residual scarring from the lesions. This is one good reason to treat acne in its early stages, to avoid permanent damage to the skin. Bayou City Dermatology offer a variety of treatment options for acne scarring. These procedures have improved dramatically over the past several years thanks to cutting-edge laser technology. While acne scarring cannot be “cured,” most of our patients experience substantial improvement with laser treatment.

The best treatment option will depend on the types of scars and the unique characteristics of each patient. In many cases, a combination of lasers is used to achieve the best results with acne scarring.

The board-certified dermatologists and laser experts at Bayou City Dermatology also offer a variety of lasers that can address even the most severe acne breakouts. With a variety of devices available, we can customize your treatment to produce the best possible results.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do people get acne scars?

Surprisingly, all acne scars are NOT caused by picking at the outbreak. The skin on your face is extremely sensitive and if you suffer from extreme bouts of intense inflammation, such as what often occurs when you have cystic acne, hypertrophic acne scars will be the result.

Can acne scars heal naturally?

Yes, they can lessen in depth and contour over time without treatment altogether. However, there are a number of factors that can determine the period of time it takes for any existing acne marks and scars to fade. Not only does the severity of your acne have an impact but also your age, skin type, tone, and complexion can play a part in how long it can take.

Are acne scars permanent

To the relief of teens and adults all over the world, recent developments in the laser world mean the answer to the question “Are acne scars permanent?” is no, severe scarring from acne is no longer permanent.

How common is acne scarring?

Very common. About 80% of people between the ages of 11 and 30 will have acne, and one out of five of that population will have scarring. Teenagers are the hardest hit. Nearly 90% of them will get acne.
