What Causes Acne and Acne Scarring?

Acne occurs when oil glands and hair follicles become clogged with dead skin cells, sebum, and bacteria. Hormonal changes, stress, poor diet, and certain skincare products can also contribute to breakouts. When inflammation develops, it can damage skin tissue and lead to scarring once the acne heals.

There are different types of acne scars, which can appear as:

  • Icepick scars: Deep, narrow indentations that resemble small punctures.

  • Boxcar scars: Broad depressions with sharply defined edges.

  • Rolling scars: Shallow, wave-like depressions caused by tethered skin tissue.

  • Post-inflammatory pigmentation: Dark or red marks left after acne heals.

Acne & Acne Scar Treatments at Lilyum Clinic

Our advanced acne and scar treatments are designed to target the root cause, reduce inflammation, prevent further breakouts, and rejuvenate damaged skin.

1. Laser Acne Treatment

Our cutting-edge laser therapy reduces active acne, minimizes oil production, and stimulates collagen to smooth acne scars and improve overall skin tone.

2. Microneedling with Uber Peel

Combining microneedling with Uber Peel helps stimulate collagen production and fade both acne scars and pigmentation marks, resulting in smoother and more even skin.

3. Chemical Peels

We offer medical-grade peels that deeply exfoliate, unclog pores, and reduce pigmentation and textural irregularities caused by acne.

4. LED Light Therapy

A painless, non-invasive treatment that uses blue and red light wavelengths to destroy acne-causing bacteria and calm inflammation.

Our dermatologists may recommend professional-grade skincare from brands like Obagi or Zo Skin Health to manage oil, unclog pores, and maintain post-treatment results.
