Acne scars can feel like a lasting reminder of past skin troubles, impacting both your appearance and confidence. The journey to smoother skin may seem challenging, especially when faced with the many different types of acne scars. But the good news? There are targeted solutions that can help you regain that smooth, glowing complexion. In this guide, we’ll explore the types of acne scars and provide effective approaches for treating each one—using Adverto Beauty’s advanced skincare tools to support your journey.

Types of Acne Scars and How to Treat Them

Not all acne scars are the same. Understanding the specific type of scarring you have is key to choosing the right treatment. Here’s a breakdown of the most common types of acne scars and the best ways to treat them.

1. Ice Pick Scars

These narrow, deep scars look like small holes or "picks" in the skin and often extend deep into the dermis, making them one of the more challenging scars to treat. They’re commonly caused by inflammatory acne, and because they’re so deep, surface treatments alone often don’t work.

Treatment Approach: The Pietro Simone Fierce Skin Stimulator can help here by stimulating collagen production from within. By using microcurrent technology to boost collagen and elastin, the Fierce Skin Stimulator encourages skin renewal, which can gradually fill in the depth of ice pick scars over time. Pair it with a collagen-boosting serum like the Pietro Simone Scar & Spot Fighter, which is designed to target scar tissue and promote cell turnover, working as a powerful team to treat these stubborn scars.

2. Boxcar Scars

Boxcar scars are wider and have defined edges, appearing as shallow, round indents in the skin. These scars are often left behind after cystic acne and can give the skin an uneven texture.

Treatment Approach: For boxcar scars, it’s crucial to build collagen to smooth out the depressions. The CELLRETURN LED Platinum Mask offers an ideal solution, as its red LED light promotes collagen production and skin healing. Red LED light has been scientifically proven to penetrate deeply, triggering skin’s natural repair processes. With regular use, you’ll start to notice smoother skin texture, as boxcar scars gradually become less visible.

You can also enhance your results with a topical product like the Pietro Simone Scar & Spot Fighter, which helps to address surface-level scars while LED technology works beneath the skin.

3. Rolling Scars

Rolling scars create a wave-like appearance on the skin’s surface, typically caused by damage beneath the skin. They’re usually wider and shallow but can be tricky to smooth out due to their texture.

Treatment Approach: The UNICskin UNICLED Korean Mask is a powerful tool for rolling scars. By delivering red light directly into the skin, it enhances cellular turnover, smooths texture, and boosts elasticity, which is essential for leveling out rolling scars. To further the benefits, pair this with Pietro Simone’s Fierce Skin Stimulator, which helps to stimulate deeper layers of the skin to lift and even out the surface.

Adding the UNICskin UNICLIFTING Serum to your regimen can also help firm and plump the skin, working on the rolling indentations to bring them more in line with the surrounding skin.

4. Hypertrophic (Raised) Scars

These are the opposite of most acne scars, as they form raised, thickened areas on the skin. Caused by an excess of collagen during the healing process, hypertrophic scars are commonly found on the chest, back, and shoulders.

Treatment Approach: The key to treating hypertrophic scars is to calm the skin and regulate collagen production. The Vzusa iCare device offers a gentle way to target these raised areas, helping to soften and reduce the prominence of the scar tissue over time. With soothing microcurrent and EMS (electrical muscle stimulation), this device helps break down tough scar tissue and even out skin texture.

Why Treating Acne Scars Is Worth the Investment

Acne scars can be a constant reminder of past struggles, and they may even make you hesitant to go makeup-free. Treating acne scars isn’t just about vanity—it’s about restoring confidence and enjoying clear, healthy skin. Imagine looking in the mirror and seeing smoother, even skin that no longer holds onto the past. With Adverto Beauty’s skincare solutions, your goal of reclaiming confidence is more achievable than ever.
