ACNE SCARRING
Advanced Treatments to Smooth and Refine Scarred Skin
At Signature Skin, Dr. Shantanu Choudhary and Dr. Swati Mogra offer advanced treatments to reduce the appearance of acne scars and improve skin texture. Because acne scars vary widely in type and depth, treatment is customized to each patient.
Understanding Acne Scarring
Acne scarring develops when inflamed breakouts damage the deeper layers of skin, leaving behind textural changes such as pitted, boxcar, or rolling scars, or raised scar tissue. The type, depth, and pattern of scarring guide which treatments will be most effective.
When to See a Dermatologist
A consultation is worthwhile for anyone bothered by acne scars, particularly once active breakouts are controlled, since treating scars while acne is still active can limit results.
