Acne / Pimples Scars

Acne scars are the marks or depressions left on the skin after healing of acne or pimples. They occur due to inflammation and damage to deeper layers of the skin during acne eruptions. When the skin’s natural healing process is disrupted, either too little or too much collagen is produced, resulting in atrophic (depressed) or hypertrophic (raised) scars. Common causes include severe inflammatory acne, frequent touching or squeezing of pimples, and delayed healing due to infection or hormonal imbalance. Scars can affect the face, chest, or back and often lead to psychological distress and low self-esteem.

Homeopathy focuses on healing the skin from within, enhancing natural repair, and preventing new scar formation. Remedies aim to improve skin tone, reduce pigmentation, and stimulate healthy tissue regeneration. Instead of superficial treatment, homeopathy addresses root causes like hormonal imbalance, poor digestion, and oily skin tendency, ensuring long-term skin health. Regular treatment helps fade existing scars, prevent recurrence of acne, and restore a clear complexion.
