Skin Care for Facial Scars: Effective Solutions for Scar Removal

Having scars on your face can be frustrating, but these days there are effective solutions for skin scar removal.

Skin Care for Scars: Scientifically Proven Products for Scar Removal

Facial scars, also known as acne scars, can stay on the face for months or even years after the breakout has subsided.

Dermoi offers a selection of scientifically proven products for facial scars that get rid of a range of scars, including those caused by acne.

Scientifically Backed Solutions for Facial Scars: Our Product Collection

Our collection of products feature scientifically backed solutions for all types of facial scars including texture scarring, as well as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (acne scars).

Understanding Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) and Facial Scars

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) are facial scars that occur on the face when the skin produces excess melanin. This comes following an injury or irritation.

This type of facial scaring is most common complaint of darker-skinned racial ethnic groups when visiting a dermatologist.¹

Understanding Atrophic Scarring: Ice Pick, Rolling, and Boxcar Scars

Another type of facial scarring is atrophic scarring. There are 3 types of atrophic scars. These are ice pick, rolling and boxcar scars which can be improved with chemical peels and advanced retinoid products.

Decoding Ice Pick and Rolling Scars

Ice pick scars are acne scars that have a sunken appearance. On the other hand, rolling scars are facial scars that are typically around 4-5mm wide. They form under the skin and give a rolling appearance.

Boxcar Scars Unveiled: Understanding and Treating Facial Acne Scarring

The third type are boxcar scars which are similar to ice pick scars in the sense that they’re both facial scars from acne. Boxcar scars are round depressions in the skin that appear after certain forms of acne heal.
