Pitted Acne Scars
Pitted acne scars are characterized by an indented impression on the skin. Unlike keloid scars, pitted scars result from a sudden loss of collagen due to inflammation of deep breakouts, which lead to pit-like marks on the face.
To treat pitted scars, follow these tips:
(1) Treat the initial breakout asap. Delaying treatment can increase the risk of scarring.
(2) Deep clean your skin with a gentle cleanser and exfoliator.
(3) Try an organic peel to help expose healthy tissue and stimulate collagen production.
(4) Consider micro-needling, a treatment that creates small, superficial areas of mechanical injury that stimulate the repair response and improve scar appearance.
