Facial Scarring Treatments

Addressing Facial Scarring at Prèface Cosmetic

Facial scarring can occur when the skin heals after acne, injury, surgery or inflammation. It may appear as changes in texture, indentations, raised areas or discolouration. Everyone’s skin reacts differently and scarring may change and develop over time.

 

The following page provides key information about Facial Scarring and treatment options for this concern in clinic.

Acne Scarring

Acne scarring can develop after inflamed acne lesions affect the deeper layers of the skin. It may appear as textural changes, indentations, uneven areas or darker marks left behind after breakouts. The appearance of acne scarring can vary between individuals and may depend on skin type, acne severity and healing response.

Factors Contributing to Facial Scarring

A range of factors may influence the development and appearance of facial scarring. Some include:

Depth and severity of the original injury or inflammation

Delayed healing or repeated irritation

Skin type and individual healing response

Sun exposure

Post-inflammatory pigmentation

Picking, squeezing or trauma to the skin

These variables may affect how skin texture changes over time and contribute to scar visibility.

Common Types of Facial Scarring

Atrophic Scars
Indented or pitted scars that sit below the surface of the skin. These are commonly associated with acne.

 

Hypertrophic/Keloid Scars
Raised, thickened scars that form when the skin produces excess collagen during healing.

 

Discolouration
Red, brown or darker marks that can remain after inflammation, irritation or acne. These changes are often referred to as post-inflammatory pigmentation.

We offer tailored treatments for all kinds of facial scarring.
