If you have ever looked closely at your skin and wondered why some marks seem to fade while others linger, you are noticing something important: not all acne scarring is the same. Understanding the differences can be genuinely empowering, and we love helping our clients make sense of their own skin.
The main types of acne scarring
In simple terms, some acne scars sit below the surface and create small indents, while others can appear raised. There are also marks left behind after a breakout that are actually pigmentation rather than true scarring, and these often respond very well to the right care.
Knowing which you have makes all the difference, because each responds best to a different approach.
Why the type changes the plan
A treatment that suits one kind of scarring may do little for another. This is exactly why we never recommend a treatment based on a photo or a quick glance. A proper assessment lets us tailor everything to your skin.
How we figure it out together
During your consultation, our dermal clinicians will assess your skin closely and explain what they see in plain, friendly language. You will leave understanding your skin far better, with a clear sense of the options available to you.
If you would love some clarity about your skin, come and see us. We would be delighted to help you understand it.
Our friendly team are on-hand to answer any questions you may have!
You can call or text us anytime on 0440 132 678, we'd love to hear from you.
