What Causes Acne and Acne Scarring?
Acne, a common skin condition, is often caused by the blockage of hair follicles with oil and dead skin cells. These blockages can result in the formation of pesky spots and pimples. While the exact causes of acne are still being studied, several factors have been identified as contributors:
- Hormonal changes
- Genetics
- Diet
- Stress
- Certain medications
- Exposure to certain irritants
Aside from the presence of acne, individuals may also experience acne scars. These scars occur when the skin is damaged as a result of severe acne lesions. Several factors can influence the likelihood of developing acne scars. The severity and duration of acne play a significant role, as more persistent or severe acne is more likely to leave scars.
Additionally, genetics and age can also affect an individual's susceptibility to scarring. Those who are ageing, for example, may have a decreased ability for skin regeneration, making them more prone to developing acne scars. Understanding the causes and factors contributing to acne and acne scarring is essential for effective prevention and treatment. We tailor our Dubai acne treatment to address the root cause of your acne, to prevent it coming back and helping to restore soft, clear, and supple skin.
What are the Different Types of Acne Scars?
For those who have battled with acne, the lingering concern of acne scars is common. These scars can be classified into various types, depending on their severity and appearance. Some of the most common acne scars include:
Ice Pick Scars
These tiny holes on the skin are deep, narrow, and sharply defined. They form as a result of the loss of collagen and elastin, leaving indented marks.
Boxcar Scars
Boxcar scars, distinguished by their rectangular shape and sharp edges, are relatively shallower than ice pick scars, and minimising their appearance can be an ongoing challenge.
Rolling Scars
With a "rolling" appearance, these scars create a wave-like effect on the skin. They are broad, shallow, and caused by scar tissue formation underneath, resulting in an uneven skin surface.
Hypertrophic Scars
Raised and thickened, hypertrophic scars occur when the body produces excess collagen during the healing process. Usually red or pink, they are primarily found on the chest, back, shoulders, and jawline.
Keloid Scars
Similar to hypertrophic scars, keloid scars can extend beyond the boundaries of the original acne blemish. More prevalent in individuals with darker skin tones, they can become itchy or painful.

What are the Different Types of Acne?
Acne affects millions of people worldwide. There are several different types of acne, each with their own unique characteristics. Some of the most common types of acne include:
These small, raised bumps can develop when hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin cells, and have a white or yellowish head.
Open pores that appear black as a result of the oxidation of the oil and dead skin cells blocked inside. Blackheads are NOT caused by dirt.
Small, red bumps that can be slightly painful and tender to the touch. Papules occur when the walls of the hair follicles become inflamed.
Similar to papules, but have a white or yellowish pus-filled centre. Pustules are formed when the hair follicle wall breaks down.
Large and painful lumps that develop beneath the skin. They are formed when the hair follicle becomes deeply inflamed and can take longer to heal than other types of acne.
The most severe type of acne, these deep, pus-filled lesions are often painful and can cause scarring. Removing cysts can be a prolonged process as they can take several weeks to heal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What causes acne?
Although direct causes of acne are still being researched, factors that can contribute towards acne and breakouts include hormonal changes, genetics, diet, stress, certain medications and exposure to certain irritants.
Does acne mean my face is dirty?
Absolutely not. Having acne or needing acne treatment does not mean your face is dirty, as there are many factors that can influence acne. Be sure not to over-cleanse your face, as this can irritate the skin, leading to further breakouts.
How can I treat my acne from home?
You can treat your acne at home using over-the-counter spot or scarring treatments. However, these solutions do not always work. If you’re dealing with stubborn acne or scarring, it’s important to seek treatment. Don’t settle for skin you don’t love – book a consultation today to achieve radiant, smooth, and clear skin with our revolutionary acne treatment in Dubai.
Should I stop wearing make-up if I have acne?
You don’t need to stop wearing make-up if you have acne. You should however only use non-comedogenic make-up, as it doesn’t block the pores and therefore won’t further exacerbate your acne.
Will my acne go away on its own?
Although acne can disappear on its own, it’s not always the case. If you’re struggling with persistent and stubborn acne, it might be time to take action with an Este Medical Dubai acne facial and tame your skin for good.
