ACNE SCARS

We also conduct treatments and surgical procedures to remove acne scars at Cosmo Care & Hair Clinic Chandigarh.

For those who don’t know, acne scars are caused by the blisters resulted due to oily skin, dead skin cells, and bacterial infections.

Normally these scars are usually small and heal quickly. However, if they’re deep, they might never heal and you might need surgical procedures.

Types of acne scars

Atrophic or depressed scarring
These scars are developed due to the loss of skin tissues. There are two types of atrophic scarring: Icepick scars, small yet visible holes in skin and Boxcar scars that are depressed scars and look like chickenpox scars.
