Acne affects an estimated 90% of adolescents (1). Severely inflamed acne can leave behind scars. Acne scars cause a lot of psychological distress, especially in adolescents (1). But it is important to remember that scar formation is normal.

A survey studied 723 adults with atrophic acne scars and their impact on their psychological well-being. The study found that 25.7% of the participants felt less attractive due to acne scars, 27.5% were self-conscious because of them, 8.3% reported being physically and verbally abused due to their facial scars, and 15.9% stated that they were unfairly dismissed from their workplace.

In this article, we will be talking about some home remedies that may help lighten the appearance of acne scars and pimple marks. These remedies may not work on all skin types. Hence, consult a skincare expert before exploring these options.

Acne Scars Vs. Pimple Marks

Acne scars are usually pitted and almost never heal completely. Pimple marks are tiny, flat, and dark spots caused by post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that can fade in a few weeks on their own. Picking or popping a pimple can increase the chances of pimple marks. However, they don’t cause long-term damage to your skin. On the other hand, acne scar fading takes a considerably longer time and is difficult to remove completely.

Note: Some acne scars are caused by inflammation and require medical treatment. They cannot be treated with home remedies. Consult a dermatologist to find out if this is the case with your acne scars.

These were a few natural tips and tricks on how to lighten acne marks naturally. Let us now understand how you can prevent the recurrence of these scars.

Preventive Tips For Acne And Pimple Scars

Acne and pimples occur fairly frequently, but you can always make sure that they don’t leave raised acne scars on your face. Some tips that may help you prevent scars include:

  • Wash your face with a non-comedogenic face wash twice daily.
  • Always remove makeup from your face before going to bed.
  • Do not pick on acne or pop your pimples.
  • Apply sunscreen before stepping out in the sun.
  • Follow a balanced diet and avoid foods that can cause breakouts.

What Causes Acne Scars?

Acne can be classified into two subtypes – non-inflammatory and inflammatory.

Whiteheads and blackheads usually fall under the non-inflammatory subtype. Papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts are the inflammatory types of acne.

Among these types, it is inflammatory acne that tends to leave behind scars and marks.

Inflamed acne blemishes occur when your pores become engorged as a result of excess oil, dead cells, and bacteria clogging them. This leads to the swelling of the pores, which causes the follicle walls to expand and break.

If this rupture occurs close to the surface of your skin, the resulting acne lesion is usually minor and heals quickly. However, if the break in the follicle is deep, the lesion will be more severe, and the infected material may leak out into the dermis (the second layer of skin) and destroy healthy skin tissues.

Acne scars are further divided into different types.

Types Of Acne Scars

The most common types of acne scars are:

  • Ice-Pick Acne Scars: Narrow, deep, and pitted scars
  • Rolling Acne Scars: Broad, depressed scars with slanting edges
  • Boxcar Acne Scars: Broad scars with sharp edges
  • Atrophic Scars: Flat, thin, and depressed scars
  • Hypertrophic Scars: Lumpy and thick scars
  • Keloid Scars: Raised, thick, and lumpy scars

Regardless of the type of acne scars, the remedies shared above may help control and reduce the appearance of acne. However, in some cases, you may require more long-term treatment as the acne might be a sign of other underlying conditions. In such cases, you must consult your dermatologist immediately.

How Do Dermatologists Treat Acne Scars?

protip_icon Did You Know?
According to the American Academy Of Dermatology Association, delaying the treatment of inflammatory acne can lead to scarring (2)

Although many recipes and ingredients are recommended to treat acne scars, not all of them have proven to work. To overcome this situation, visit a dermatologist. Here are some common dermatological treatment options that your doctor might suggest. Note that these procedures are carried out under medical supervision, so self-medication is strictly prohibited.
  1. Dermabrasion/Microdermabrasion: Dermabrasion and microdermabrasioni  XA non-invasive procedure that gently exfoliates the skin to minimize the signs of aging and improve skin texture and tone. are facial resurfacing techniques that mechanically remove damaged skin to promote wound healing. Dermabrasion removes the epidermis completely and remodels the skin’s structural proteins. Microdermabrasion for acne scars only removes the outer layer of the epidermis, enhancing the natural process of exfoliation. Both treatments are effective in treating acne scars (1).
  2. Laser Treatment: Laser treatment is recommended for patients with deep scars (box-car scars). Although there is improvement noticed in laser treatment for acne scars, there are quite a few risk factors and criteria involved in this procedure (1).
  3. Needling: Dermarolling for acne scars, involves using a sterile roller made of fine, sharp needles to puncture the skin. The bruises thus created on the skin boost the production of collagen and elastin fibers. Results are generally seen about 6 weeks to 3 months from the procedure (1).
  4. Chemical peels for acne scars:Chemical peeling involves applying chemicals to the skin to remove the damaged outer layers to speed up the skin repair process. The hydroxy acids used in this process include glycolic acid, pyruvic acid, salicylic acid, and trichloroacetic acid (1). The use of silicone sheets for acne scars is also gaining popularity as it is a non-invasive scar removal method. It helps reduce the scar size of both old and new scars.
