Skin concerns like acne scars, melasma, dark spots, and keloid scars can affect anyone and often impact confidence. At HealthHub Clinics, we understand the personal and emotional toll these conditions can take. That’s why we offer advanced, clinically proven treatments to help restore smoother, clearer, and more even-toned skin. Whether you’re dealing with stubborn pigmentation, uneven texture, or raised scars, our dermatology team provides tailored solutions to help you look and feel your best.
What Causes Acne Scars and Pigmentation?
Acne scars and pigmentation often result from inflammation or skin injury. When the skin heals, it can sometimes leave behind textural changes or excess melanin, which appears as discoloration. Common causes include:
- Acne: Inflammatory acne lesions can damage collagen, leading to depressed or raised scars.
- Sun exposure: UV rays stimulate melanin production, worsening dark spots and melasma.
- Hormonal changes: Pregnancy, birth control, or hormone therapy can trigger melasma.
- Skin trauma: Cuts, burns, or improper acne extraction can lead to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or keloid formation.
Types of Scars and Pigmentation Issues
- Atrophic scars: Depressed scars like ice pick, rolling, or boxcar scars caused by collagen loss.
- Hypertrophic scars and keloids: Raised scars due to excess collagen, often red or firm.
- Melasma: Brown or gray-brown patches, typically on the cheeks, forehead, or upper lip.
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH): Flat, darkened spots that appear after acne or injury.
- Sunspots: Caused by prolonged UV exposure, often on the face and hands.
Treatment Options at HealthHub Clinics
We offer a wide range of non-surgical treatments to address both scarring and pigmentation. Based on your skin type, condition, and goals, our dermatologists may recommend a customized treatment plan using one or more of the following solutions:
Dermapen Microneedling
