Acne Marks
Dealing with acne-prone skin is a daily challenge. Even after clearing up the acne, marks left behind create a new struggle. This continuous concern and battle can be exhausting. Is there hope for better results from aesthetic therapies?
What are Acne Mark
Acne marks are dark spots left behind after a pimple heals. There are two common types: red and black/brown marks.
Symptoms
Red acne marks
Red acne marks, also called post-inflammatory acne marks, start red from blood capillary dilation. When pimples are infected, nearby capillaries become irritated and enlarge to increase blood flow for healing. After healing, the capillaries stay dilated temporarily, resulting in red marks from accumulated blood cells and platelets.
Black/brown acne mark
After recovering from acne, unprotected sun exposure can further damage skin. UV radiation triggers melanin generation, turning red acne marks into black marks (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation). Skin barrier damage or irritation causes inflammation, leading to hyperpigmentation of varying degree. Black acne marks were once red, as inflammation causes capillary dilation and reddening before melanin generation causes brown/black pigmentation.
Treatment
Those with acne-prone skin, pimple-poppers, and those who skip sun protection.

The acids dissolve oil particles on the outer layer of skin and promote cell renewal. This treatment can help with skin whitening, acne removal, reducing pore size and fine lines, eliminating blackheads, and healing chloasma.
How does Chemical Peel work
Pigment particles in the epidermis and dermis can cause spots, pigmentation, and acne marks. Chemical peel can effectively improve these conditions. It removes skin layers, reduces melanin production, and improves skin moisture. It can also treat acne and reduce fine wrinkles by promoting collagen production and elastic fiber renewal.

PicoSure laser treatment offered by Skinspire Laser & Skin Clinic, safely removes tattoos and pigmentation using a 755nm wavelength of light. The FOCUS lens concentrates energy into the skin to break down melanin and stimulate collagen repair, resulting in improved pigmentation, smoother skin, smaller pores, and a more youthful appearance. Approved by the FDA and CFDA.
How does PicoSure Laser work
Under “BOOST” mode, the pulse width of the PicoSure can be adjusted and compressed from 750 to 550PS, which can increase the pressure by 70%. The 755 nm wavelength light that can be absorbed by melanin is irradiated on melanin, and all the energy is released within picoseconds. Due to the high energy released within a short period of time, melanin molecules are not able to absorb all the energy and eventually burst into smaller particles. The resulting particles will then be eliminated by the body.
