CONCERN OVERVIEW
Smoother-looking texture starts with identifying the scar pattern.
Acne scarring can develop when inflammation disrupts collagen and supporting tissue during healing. Scars may look rolling, sharply edged, narrow, or uneven.

TEXTURE CHANGES

INDENTED SCARS

POST-ACNE MARKS
WHAT IT IS
Atrophic acne scarring
Indented scars that can remain after inflammatory acne damages supporting skin tissue.
COMMON APPEARANCE
Texture + depressions
May appear as rolling, boxcar, or ice-pick-like depressions and uneven skin texture.
OUR APPROACH
Treat the scar pattern
Treatment is selected based on scar type, depth, skin quality, skin tone, and individual goals.

UNDERSTANDING THE CONCERN
Acne scars vary in shape and depth.
Identifying whether a scar is rolling, boxcar, ice-pick, raised, or mainly discoloration helps guide realistic care planning.
Rolling Scars
Broad, shallow depressions that give the skin a soft, wave-like texture.
Boxcar Scars
Round or oval depressions with more defined edges and variable depth.
Ice Pick Scars
Narrow, deeper pits that extend farther into the skin.
WHY IT HAPPENS
Inflammatory acne can damage collagen and supporting tissue during healing. When the skin rebuilds unevenly, indented, raised, or irregular scars may remain.
WHAT CAN AFFECT SEVERITY
Depth of inflammation
Scar type and age
Healing response
Skin quality
Skin tone
Picking or squeezing
