Acne marks and acne pits are the eternal pain in the hearts of people with acne. Compared with acne marks, acne pits are more stubborn and difficult to eliminate. The bumpy scars on the face can greatly affect the appearance. The face like the “moon surface” is almost impossible to improve through skin care. Therefore, the emergence of medical beauty has become the “ultimate weapon” for many of us to solve acne scars and acne pits.
Introduction
Acne scars, also known as “acne scars” in professional termsare scars left after acne disappears. Acne pits are actually a type of acne scars. Concave acne scars are acne pits, and raised acne scars are called acne scars.
● Acne scars appear as depressions around the face and pores, and are shaped like orange peels. The pores are large, and the skin surface looks unevenly distributed with pits. Most of them are caused by the incorrect methods of “needle picking” or “hand squeezing” to remove acne and acne scars, which cause obvious depressions at the location.
● Raised acne scars are hypertrophic scars, which are excessively thickened scars that leave obvious red bulges where acne has occurred. They look red and swollen. What’s more serious is that they will slowly grow due to external stimulation.
Causes
Acne scars are caused by infection, inflammation or external force . Most of them are caused by the lack of timely and appropriate treatment of acne, which leads to inflammation of skin cells and local necrosis and liquefaction of skin tissue, resulting in defects in subcutaneous tissue and scars. The distribution is relatively uneven and irregular, and the pits are more obvious, with sunken or raised skin.
● Acne scars are caused by acne inflammation, which damages the collagen in the dermis. The skin cannot produce enough new collagen to fill the “holes” caused by acne inflammation, so the dermis collapses and leaves pits. If you squeeze it with your hands, it is easy to cause pits.
● Hyperplastic raised acne scars are caused by inflammation of skin cells and excessive proliferation of fibroblast tissue, which leads to raised scars.
◎Why is it easy to create acne pits and scars by squeezing acne with your hands?
When acne first occurs, the main battlefield is the hair follicles. At this time, the follicle walls are already very fragile. If you squeeze them with your hands, the follicles will rupture faster under the action of external force, causing the battlefield to quickly expand to the dermis. Once bacteria enter the dermis, the dermis tissue is easily damaged, and the repair capacity is insufficient or too excited, which will cause acne pits and acne scars.
In addition, behaviors such as ignoring acne and excessive use of cosmetics to treat acne will directly lead to the sequelae of acne.
Specific symptoms
Generally speaking, acne scars are divided into depressed acne scars and hypertrophic acne scars, which can be further divided into the following categories:
● Acne pits (depressed acne scars)
① Ice cone type Ice cone acne scars are relatively common, showing as tiny skin loss with obvious depressions, no acne, no pits, like a canyon next to an iceberg, with a smaller opening. ② Carriage type It manifests as skin atrophy, truncated depressions, and pits of varying sizes, among which chickenpox scars have obvious deep pits. ③ Roller type/Drum type Relatively shallow, with extensive collapse changes and narrow surface openings.
● Acne scars
① Hypertrophic acne scars (pimple scars)
When the dermis is damaged, the fibroblasts in the dermis are stimulated and overreact during the wound healing process, forming raised scars, which are hyperplastic acne scars. Once formed, acne scars are not easy to repair on their own, and they are red, hard, and protrude from the surface of normal skin. They will gradually increase in size and number with external stimulation, accompanied by occasional itching.

Treatment options
For acne scars or hyperplasia, the effect of skin care products is very limited. After all, once such permanent scars are produced, the skin cannot repair itself, so the best way is to use medical beauty, such as laser, radio frequency, etc. The specific treatment should be decided by the severity of the hyperplasia and acne scars during the consultation at Ai Beauty Clinic .
A. Radiofrequency gold microneedle
Introduction:
Radiofrequency gold microneedle is a new radiofrequency treatment technology that integrates dot matrix, microneedle and radiofrequency technology. The main principle is to generate multiple magnetic fields under the skin through multi-source radiofrequency control of multiple groups of positive and negative electrode phase control, and transmit energy waves evenly to the skin layer by layer, stimulating fibroblasts to produce new collagen, thereby achieving the effect of firming the skin, reducing wrinkles, shrinking pores, and refining skin texture.
Working principle:
During treatment, the mechanical stimulation of the extremely sharp conical 24K gold non-insulated microneedles made by special technology and the biological effects and thermal stimulation produced by the unique dot-matrix pulse mode of radio frequency jointly stimulate the skin’s self-repair system. When the microneedles in the probe penetrate into the skin, they will simultaneously release 1 million Hz radio waves. The radio frequency waves penetrate the epidermis and act on the barrier of melanocytes in the dermis, heating the collagen fibers in the dermis to 55℃-65℃, destroying the sebaceous glands, killing Propionibacterium acnes, and helping the skin to reduce inflammation and fight bacteria, thereby improving enlarged facial pores, acne scars, and dark skin color, inhibiting excessive facial oil secretion, and improving acne skin problems.
process:
1. VISIA skin test: scientifically displays skin conditions and problems.
2. Face-to-face consultation: Develop a plan based on individual skin conditions and needs.
3. Apply anesthetic: Apply anesthetic externally, clean and disinfect the treatment area.
4. Preoperative preparation: Mark the spot with a marker. Before the operation, make sure the treatment head is brand new and unopened.
5. Intraoperative treatment: Follow the plan and flexibly adjust the energy and depth of treatment.
6. Postoperative repair: hospital-grade medical repair mask + QDEL phototherapy mask repair.
7. Precautions after surgery.
Duration: 1-1.5 hours
Suitable for the crowd:
- People with stubborn and severe acne scars;

B. PicoSure Honeycomb Picosecond Laser
Introduction:
PicoSure is a picosecond laser that is safe and effective for removing tattoos and benign pigmentary lesions. It has been certified by the US FDA and China CFDA and is approved for skin pigmentation problems and spots. It has a wavelength of 755nm, which is currently the best wavelength for black absorption. It has high specificity, high clearance rate and high safety in treating melanin. With the honeycomb instant lens (Focus), it can focus 70% of the laser energy, reshuffle the originally emitted energy, and amplify the energy into the skin, shattering the melanocytes in the epidermis. At the same time, it transmits the shock wave to the deep dermis, causing collagen to be damaged by the shock wave, restarting and repairing, and regenerating collagen. Therefore, in addition to melanin, it also improves fine lines, large pores and other problems. Some people even call it a wrinkle removal laser.
Working principle:
Picosecond lasers instantly blast pigments while transmitting shock waves to the deep layers of the skin, activating the repair mechanism and promoting the regeneration of collagen, achieving whitening and rejuvenation, shrinking pores, and fading scars and fine lines. Cynosure’s unique FOCUS honeycomb lens can generate LIOB between the true epidermis, thereby stimulating the production of collagen, flattening the missing concave parts, and achieving the effect of facial rejuvenation.
process:
1. VISIA skin test: detect current skin conditions and skin problems. The data and images provide professional basis for face-to-face consultation.
2. Face-to-face consultation: Evaluate the treatment scope and course of treatment based on personal needs and pore conditions.
3. PATCH TEST: Perform a patch test 24 days in advance and proceed if there is no allergic or uncomfortable reaction.
4. Preoperative preparation: apply anesthetic, clean and disinfect the treatment area, and wear goggles.
5. Laser treatment: Laser operation is performed on the treatment area, and the intensity is increased in severe areas, while cold air ducts are used to cool down the body.
6. Postoperative recovery: Apply aloe vera gel to soothe and calm.
7. Precautions after surgery.

Ai Beauty Photorejuvenation:
F. Acid treatment
Introduction:
Acid peeling is to use a certain concentration of acid products on the skin to dissolve the oils connected to the keratin cells, promote the shedding of the aged stratum corneum, accelerate the renewal of keratin cells and a small number of upper epidermal cells, speed up the metabolism of the skin, promote the proliferation of elastic fibers in the dermis, and restore and maintain the health of the skin. It has a good effect in whitening, removing acne marks, improving pores, fine lines, removing blackheads, and treating acne and chloasma.
Working principle:
Acid peeling/fruit acid peeling can loosen the adhesions (desmosomes) between stratum corneum cells, allowing the over-accumulated keratinocytes to separate and fall off, unblocking the hair follicle openings and preventing blockages; at the same time, it activates the metabolism of the epidermal skin, promotes the proliferation and rearrangement of collagen fibers in the dermis, and ultimately effectively improves skin quality (especially chicken skin), shrinks pores (inhibits oil secretion) and brightens skin tone.
process:
1. VISIA skin test: detect current skin conditions and skin problems. The data and images provide professional basis for face-to-face consultation.
2. Face-to-face consultation: Develop a personal acid peeling plan based on personal needs and skin conditions.
3. Preoperative preparation: Clean and disinfect the treatment area.
4. Acid peeling treatment: Apply acid to the face for 1-5 minutes.
5. Stop reaction: Apply stop solution to neutralize the acid and stop the peeling reaction to avoid excessive damage to the skin.
6. Clean up after the operation and explain precautions.
Duration: 45-60 minutes
