Source: Clipart Korea
Many people are worried about acne scars, right?
I'm worried about getting acne on my face, but I'm even more stressed out because of the acne marks and scars that I get later on.
They say that acne can easily scar depending on how you manage it. I've been struggling with acne scars myself, and I've found some great ways to get rid of them and manage them!
So today, I'm going to share with you one by one the causes of acne scars, how to get rid of them, and related treatments and other management methods :)
1. Causes of acne scars
There are several possible explanations for why acne scars remain.
1) Decreased skin regeneration ability
As adults, the skin regeneration rate and collagen production decrease, making it easier for acne scars and marks to remain.
2) Cumulative damage
Additionally, if you have had a lot of acne from childhood to adulthood, it is said that the accumulated damage to skin tissue can lead to scarring and pigmentation.
3) Incorrect extrusion
According to medical information from Seoul National University Hospital, if you incorrectly squeeze a pimple, the sebum can burst deep into the skin. This can lead to pitted scars or uneven, raised skin.
In addition, red marks from acne scars can persist for a long time, so you should be careful as sun exposure or using irritating cosmetics can worsen the condition.
2. Acne scar removal treatment
I'll share some treatments for acne scars! Acne scars don't easily fade over time, so treatment can be helpful.
1) CO2 Fraxel
CO2 Fraxel is a laser treatment that pierces small holes in scars, resulting in long-term skin tightening. It's said to be effective in improving acne scars and enlarged pores.

2) PicoFraxel
Another treatment option for acne scars is PicoFraxel. PicoFraxel works by rupturing the dermal tissue, creating an air layer, and regenerating the skin without damaging the surface.
๐Check out the information on PicoFraxel, which has received FDA approval.
3) Pico toning
If you're looking to treat acne scars and hyperpigmentation, picotoning lasers can also be helpful! This treatment uses picoseconds to break down pigment particles into tiny particles, helping to alleviate post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

3. How to manage acne scars
It is important to take care of your skin to prevent acne scars while going about your daily life.
1) Using an acne patch
If you already have acne, using acne patches can help prevent scarring. Before applying the patches, be sure to wash your hands and face thoroughly, and avoid applying skincare or lotion before applying the patches!
2) Do not squeeze by hand
When you get a pimple, you're often so self-conscious that you just pop it. However, it's important to be careful, as popping a pimple with unsanitary hands can lead to hyperpigmentation and scarring.
Of course, preventing acne in the first place is crucial. It's recommended to manage stress and avoid oily or irritating foods. Furthermore, using less irritating cosmetics can be helpful!
