Discover effective treatments to reduce acne scarring and pigmentation
Acne scarring develops when severe or prolonged acne breakouts damage the skin’s structure, leading to uneven texture, indentations, or discolouration. These scars form when the skin’s natural healing process results in either too much or too little collagen production. In addition to physical indentations, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) can occur, leaving dark or red marks that linger after active acne has cleared.
Acne scars and pigmentation can affect skin tone and texture, making the complexion appear uneven. Whether you’re dealing with mild post-acne marks or deep scarring, Smooth Dimensions offers advanced treatments designed to smooth, brighten, and restore skin clarity.

Condition Causes
Common causes for acne scarring and pigmentation
Acne scarring occurs when inflamed acne lesions penetrate deep into the skin, triggering a healing response that disrupts normal collagen production. Too much collagen can lead to raised scars, while too little results in atrophic (depressed) scars. Pigmentation issues, such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), develop when acne-related inflammation stimulates excess melanin production, causing dark spots that can persist for months.
Other contributing factors include picking or squeezing acne, severe cystic breakouts, prolonged inflammation, and delayed acne treatment. Sun exposure can also worsen pigmentation by darkening post-acne marks.
Understanding the root causes of acne scarring and pigmentation is key to selecting the most effective treatments to restore a smoother, more even complexion.
