Scarring

Visible textural and pigment changes in the skin resulting from acne or injury, influenced by healing response and collagen production.

Causes

Scarring can result from a variety of skin injuries and healing responses:

  • Acne Scarring – develops when inflammatory acne damages the deeper layers of the skin, often compounded by delayed or impaired healing, collagen loss during the recovery process, and picking or manipulating active breakouts
  • Injury Scarring – caused by skin trauma such as cuts, burns, surgery, or wounds, which can trigger either excess or insufficient collagen production during healing; genetics and proper wound care also play a significant role

Treatments

Treatment is tailored based on the type and severity of scarring and may include skincare for discoloration (Sunscreen, SB Even, ZO HQ), professional chemical peels such as the Jan Marini Refine Peel or ZO 3-Step Peel, microneedling treatments like SkinPen or Virtue, as well as advanced options including Subcision, Botox, and CoolPeel/CO2 laser resurfacing.
