Understanding Acne Scars
Acne scars result from inflamed blemishes caused by excess oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria clogging pores. When these blemishes rupture, they damage collagen, a skin protein. As the skin heals, it might produce too much collagen, forming raised scars, or too little, leading to depressed scars.
Types of Acne Scars
- Boxcar Scars: Wide, U-shaped scars with sharp edges, varying in depth.
- Rolling Scars: Broad depressions with sloping edges due to fibrous bands pulling the skin down.
- Ice Pick Scars: Deep, narrow scars resembling large pores, extending into the dermis.
- Keloid Scars: Raised scars extending beyond the original injury due to aggressive healing.
- Macular Scars: Dark spots left after a pimple heals, fading over time or with treatment.
Understanding the cause and type of your acne scar is crucial for effective treatment. Identifying the nature of the scar helps in targeting and reducing its appearance effectively.
Options for Acne Scar Treatment in Edmonton
At Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre in Edmonton, we offer a range of acne scar treatments tailored to your needs:
- Fractional Laser Resurfacing: Uses laser beams to stimulate collagen production, improving skin texture and appearance. Ideal for most scar types.
- Microneedling: A tool with tiny needles boosts collagen and smooths the skin, perfect for both raised and sunken scars.
- Subcision: For deep, dented scars, a needle cuts tight bands and scar tissue below the skin, raising the scar to blend with surrounding skin.
- Filler Injections: Dermal fillers like Bellafill or hyaluronic acid are injected under scars to smooth and elevate them to match the rest of your skin.
- Chemical Peels: Special ingredients like salicylic acid peel away the top skin layer, fading scars and brightening the complexion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Scar Treatment is Best for Me?
Choosing the best scar treatment depends on several factors, including the type, depth, and location of the scar, as well as your skin type. At Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre, we offer a range of treatments to address different scar concerns. For instance, for acne scars, microneedling or laser therapy might work best.
However, for deeper scars, treatments like subcision or fillers might be more appropriate. It’s essential to have a thorough consultation with our experienced professionals who will assess your scars and provide recommendations tailored to your specific needs. They’ll consider the characteristics of your scars, your desired outcome, your budget, and any previous treatments you’ve had.
Is Acne Scar Removal Painful?
The discomfort level varies depending on the treatment used. However, we take every measure to minimize discomfort, such as using numbing cream, and will discuss pain management options with you.
How Long is the Recovery Period?
Recovery time varies based on the treatment used. Superficial peels require a few days, while deeper treatments may require 2-3 weeks. Moreover, we will provide a detailed recovery timeline during your consultation.
How Many Treatment Sessions Will I Need?
The number of sessions required for acne scar treatment varies depending on the severity of the scars, the type of treatment chosen, and individual skin responses. In many cases, patients may see noticeable improvement after just one session. However, for deeper or more extensive scars, multiple sessions might be necessary to achieve optimal results.
Can I Combine Different Scar Treatments?
Yes, it is possible for a provider to combine different acne scar treatments to achieve the best results. This is known as a combination therapy approach, and it can be effective in treating different types of scars.
Which Acne Scars are Most Difficult to Treat?
Ice pick and keloid scars are generally the most challenging to treat. However, our advanced techniques can still significantly improve their appearance.
However, at Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre, we have an array of treatments tailored to effectively address even the most stubborn scars, ensuring the best possible results for our patients.
