The road to fighting acne for people with acne-prone skin is always difficult and tragic. After finally defeating acne, a bunch of remaining acne marks, acne spots and pigmentation are another big problem. With daily difficult skin care and countless attempts to lighten the marks, in medical aesthetics, what better and faster way do we have to lighten acne marks and pigmentation?
Acne scars refer to pigmentation after inflammationwhich are the marks left after acne, dermatitis, etc. have subsided. There are two common types of acne scars: red acne scars (erythema after inflammation) and dark brown acne scars (pigmentation after inflammation).
Introduction
Specific symptoms and causes
① Red acne marks Acne scars are red in the early stages of their formation and are a sign of capillary dilation, also known as inflammatory acne scars. During the course of acne, the capillary walls on the face are repeatedly stimulated by bacteria and compressed by the proliferating sebaceous glands. In order to allow blood to pass quickly and for the “rescue” cells to quickly reach the damaged area, the capillaries will gradually expand. However, when the acne disappears, the blood vessels will not shrink immediately in a short period of time, and the blood flow will slow down, so red blood cells, platelets, etc. are prone to localized aggregation, eventually forming red acne marks. ② Dark brown acne marks (post-inflammatory pigmentation) If the skin is not properly exposed to the sun and further damaged, melanocytes will be stimulated and produce a large amount of pigmentation in the epidermis or dermis, and the red acne marks will turn into black marks, which is post-inflammatory pigmentation. This is an inflammatory reaction. When the skin is damaged by the outside world, the skin barrier is damaged, and the human body will have acute and chronic inflammation, which is prone to pigmentation. The severity of the pigmentation caused by it is not based on the degree of inflammation, but depends on the individual’s physical constitution. The areas where brown acne marks are left usually go through a process of ” first turning red, then turning black” . That is to say, it is an inflammatory reaction at the beginning, and inflammation directly causes vascular dilation and redness; however, when this chronic inflammation continues for a period of time, it will stimulate our melanocytes to produce melanin, resulting in post-inflammatory pigmentation, which appears brown or black. 
Unlike red acne marks, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is not limited to appearing after acne has subsided. Abnormal melanin secretion is one of the most common known causes of hyperpigmentation.
1. Sun exposure
When our skin is exposed to the sun’s UV rays, it produces an inflammatory response. When the skin is exposed to the sun for a long period of time, the inflammation level increases. When the inflammation level is high, our body starts to produce inflammatory mediators. These hormones are responsible for a large number of skin reactions. The activation of melanocytes is one of the reactions caused by these hormones. Once the melanocytes are activated, melanin secretion begins.
2. Skin damage
From picking at a pimple to damaging your skin, it can lead to an overproduction of melanin. When you have any type of skin damage, your body responds to it with an inflammatory response. This response in turn leads to the activation of our skin’s melanocytes. In addition to an inflammatory response, when your skin is injured, it may not be able to regenerate skin pigment. When skin pigment cannot be regenerated, darker pigment will be produced in the damaged area.
3. Allergic reaction
When you experience any allergic reaction, it can cause an inflammatory reaction in your skin. If you are allergic to a substance, when you come into contact with that substance, your body goes into overdrive, causing skin irritation. There is a high chance that your skin will have an inflammatory reaction.
4. Drug treatment
There are many medications that may show hyperpigmentation as one of their side effects. Topical retinoids, antibiotics, hormonal medications, nonsteroidal drugs, and chemotherapy drugs can all cause hyperpigmentation. Furthermore, medications may cause hormonal changes in our bodies, which can lead to the activation of melanocytes. When the cells are activated, they secrete excess melanin.
5. Improper hair removal
Facial hair removal can lead to hyperpigmentation. When you try to remove hair from the root or use harsh skin care products, there is a chance that it can cause an inflammatory response.
6. Hormonal changes
Increased estrogen and progesterone levels, usually from pregnancy or birth control pills, are one of the causes of this pigmentation.
7. Genes
If you are genetically predisposed to hyperpigmentation, even the slightest allergic reaction, sun exposure, hormonal changes or skin damage can cause hyperpigmentation.

Treatment options
A. M22 Photorejuvenation
Introduction:
M22 is a new photoelectric skin beauty instrument developed by Lumenis, Stanford University and Harvard University. It innovatively combines the world’s top technologies of OPT Perfect Technology and RESURFX non-ablative fractional fiber laser, thereby achieving effective treatment for pigmented lesions, acne scars, surgical scars, stretch marks, stretch marks, basic skin reconstruction (including improvement of large pores, hair removal, skin rejuvenation and whitening, moisturizing, etc.), facial firming and lifting, wrinkle removal, etc. It has obtained the highest international certification of the US FDA and the EU CE, and is the world’s leading cutting-edge technology and top-level skin rejuvenation equipment.
Working principle:
M22 photorejuvenation uses the core OPT perfect pulse technology and the world’s only true non-stripping dot matrix technology ResurFX. OPT light penetrates deep into the skin like a missile, accurately finds the pigment target, and completely enters the pigment, thermally decomposes the pigment particles, and specifically solves various spots, acne marks, and some pigmentation, etc. Due to the strong selectivity of the treatment, the light is only absorbed by specific parts, so it does not affect the surrounding normal skin, so the effect is very ideal.

Ai Beauty Eurostar FOTONA 4D PRO:
In fact, for dark brown acne scars, we still recommend the combined treatment of [acid peeling + photon/laser] , which is more effective.
Photons and lasers mainly transform large pigment clumps into small pigment particles, while acid peeling can speed up the skin’s metabolic rate and promote the metabolism of pigments, which has certain synergistic advantages. Acid peeling 2 weeks before photoelectric surgery can remove the stratum corneum accumulated on the skin surface, reduce light scattering, effectively increase the penetration depth of light, and also improve some of the photoelectric treatment effects.
Usually, acid peeling is performed 2-3 weeks after photon and laser treatment, and photon treatment is performed 2-3 weeks after acid peeling. Repeat this process for about 2 months, and the pigmentation will be significantly reduced.
