Post-Breakout Scarring? Go To One Of These 10 Acne Scar Treatment Clinics

Trust the pros

If you have acne-prone skin, chances are you also deal with acne scars. These can range from dark spots to depressed and raised skin where your breakouts used to be. While topical skincare can definitely help, the more grave scars need to be treated by a professional. Luckily, there are a lot of dermatologists in Singapore who can help you with that.

 

What causes acne scars?


What causes acne scars?

Acne scars occur when the skin tissue is deeply damaged.

 

Acne scars happen when acne goes deep enough into the skin and actually causes damage to the skin tissue. There are atrophic or depressed acne scars, where the scar sits below or underneath the skin and is caused by lack of collagen during the healing process. Hypertrophic or keloid scars are the opposite, where there was too much collagen while the skin was healing and caused raised skin that's also typically discoloured with a brown, red or purple hue.

There’s no need to panic, though! You can consult with a dermatologist and have them recommend an acne scar treatment plan at one of the clinics in Singapore below.
