Scarring is a very common concern amongst our clients. We have those that are concerned with minor ice pick scars, those with deeper boxcar scars, stretch marks and even surgical scars. We also have those that are a bit confused, thinking that a post inflammatory mark after a pimple is a scar.

Today, I am going to clarify what a scar is and talk about how to treat each one so that you are able to finally make some improvements in your skin.
First of all, what IS a scar?
A scar is an area on your body where an injury has occurred. The skin will have an abnormal formation of connective tissues which are initially thick or pink - but with time will fade to white.
These areas can be raised (such as a hypertrophic or keloid scar).
A hypertrophic scar is raised, but remains on the exact site of the injury.
A keloid is also raised, but it will extend past the area of injury. Those that are prone to keloids need to aggressively watch the types of products they use on their skin.
A scar can also be flat or even become an atrophic scar (or, a depression in the skin) - as in an acne ice-pick scar or a pock mark.
An atrophic scar has damaged collagen tissues.
What generally happens is that the inflammation from a large pimple (or even a chicken pock) in the skin destroys the collagen. After it is damaged and the pimple is healed, the top layer of skin ends up adhering to the deeper skin tissues. This, then becomes a depression in the skin’s texture that is usually in the shape of a “V”.
The box car scar is a combination of several Ice-pick scars that are very close together and form a larger depression.
Then we have our last type of “scar” which is really just Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation. This is the one that many people will mistake as a scar, when it is really just a temporary darkening of the skin due to inflammation. This usually occurs after a pimple has healed.
