Rolling Acne Scars

Description

Rolling acne scars, sometimes known as atrophic scars or wave scars, are a common result of severe acne, leaving behind smooth, wavy depressions that give the skin a rippled or uneven texture. These sunken scars typically appear on areas with thicker skin like the cheeks or jawline and are caused when fibrous bands pull the surface of the skin downward as acne heals. Unlike ice pick or boxcar scars, rolling scars feature broad, gentle indents instead of sharp pits or defined edges. Also called undulating scars or depressed acne marks, these blemishes can be distressing but are highly treatable with advanced options like subcision, microneedling, laser resurfacing, fillers, and even innovative stem cell therapies available at top Korean clinics. If you’re troubled by lumpy or uneven skin from past breakouts, exploring modern rolling acne scar treatments in Korea offers hope for restoring smooth, confident skin.
