Acne Scars

What are acne scars?
Acne scars are discoloured or indented scars which are left behind after acne clears up. Acne scars can be shallow or deep depressions and discoloured red, pink, purple, or brownish hues depending on your skin tone. These scars, like any other scar, are typically permanent without intervention, although they may fade over time.
  • Inflammation caused by deep acne
  • Genetics
  • Picking, scratching or popping acne
  • Poor healing process which causes too little or too much collagen production, resulting in
  • sunken or raised scars
Vitalize Skin Clinic offers clinically proven microneedling and professional chemical peels to repair acne scars. Chemical peels are generally recommended for superficial scarring and pigmentation, whereas microneedling tackles deeper and more indented scarring. A combination of the two procedures may be recommended for full rejuvenation, resulting in smoother, younger, and even looking skin. At Vitalize Skin Clinic, we use Health Canada licensed, top of the line devices with advanced safety features to regenerate damaged skin, aid in collagen production, and diminish the appearance of scarring.
