Acne Scarring can make a tremendous impact on a person’s appearance and self-esteem. Often occurring during the crucial adolescent ages, perhaps the biggest impact is on one’s psychological and emotional health. Mild residual scarring sometimes can lead to tremendous mental scars more than what is reflected in the actual physical appearance of the scars. Knowledge of this can help those who may have mild physical scars but yet are mentally more dysfunctional. With this knowledge it may be possible to improve on the mental aspects and consequences from the scarring even more so than what physical treatments (plastic / cosmetic surgery, skin care, etc.) can improve. It can also possibly allow more improvement at this level just by getting the person to realize that this phenomenon is happening.

Although our treatment of this subject is more on the physical improvement of these acne scars, we wanted to mention the psychological aspects to better help people who are trying to improve their acne scars. Through our experience, even when the physical aspects are improved, what lingers and usually what is more impactful is how the person responds mentally. Both the treating physician and the patient need to be aware of this and be able to deal with this as well during the treatment process.
