Acne scars are one of the most common concerns we treat at Aavaran — and one of the most misunderstood.
There are different types of acne scarring, and they don't all respond to the same treatment:
Atrophic scars (pitted) — icepick, boxcar, and rolling scars caused by collagen loss. Treated with microneedling, chemical peels, lasers, and subcision.
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) — dark marks left after a breakout. Not true scarring, but responds well to brightening actives and in-clinic treatments.
Hypertrophic or keloid scars — raised scars from excess collagen production. Treated differently from atrophic scars.
Getting the right diagnosis before starting treatment is everything. The wrong approach won't work — and can sometimes make scarring worse.
