Generally there are 2 types of scars: atrophic (depressed) or hypertrophic (elevated). The hypertrophic scars are also known as keloids and contribute to 10% of cases. Depressed scars are common causes of scarring after an acne outbreak. The depressed scars are further classified into ice ick, rolling and box scars.

Generally moderate to severe cases of acne outbreak may likely cause long term scarring. So if you are suffering from an acne outbreak, take your first step to consult our dermatologists. This can reduce your chances of getting a permanent scar.

Adult acne is a classification of acne occurring with people in their 30s, 40s or even 50s. It can be particularly frustrating for adults as treatment that worked so well during teenage years can be useless or even make acne worse. For example, cystic acne tends to occur in people with oily skin and it’s quite common for women, and older adults with hormonal imbalances. If you suspect you have cystic acne, your dermatologist is your best line of defense.

Contrary to the claims, most acne scars will not go away by themselves. For a visible removal, you will need FDA approved scar removal procedures available at Celebrity Secrets clinics.

The goal of acne treatment is to control active outbreaks by reducing the severity and recurrences of pimples and improving appearance. Once your dermatologist is confident of your condition, specialized treatments are used to reduce the appearance and visibility of scars.

Acne can be successfully treated and controlled with the right treatment routine. However, you may need to follow the dermatologist’s instructions to control this condition in future.

In general, your dermatologist may prescribe 6-10 sessions of procedures for acne or scar. Based on the severity of the case, the number of sessions may be more or less.
