Acne affects more than 80% of people growing up, and the resulting scars may remain into adulthood.1
Acne scars are the result of inflammation of acne blemishes.
The acne pore swells, and a breakdown occurs in the wall of the pore.
Some acne blemishes are small and the scars created are shallow and heal quickly, but sometimes the contents of blemishes spill into the surrounding tissue and cause deeper scars.
Atrophic scars are the most common type of acne scars.
