Who else feels like that? 🙋🏼♀️ a lot of us have been there and this is know as PIE 🥧 post-inflammatory erythema.
Erythema is the medical term for redness of the skin and a lot of the time acne or spots can leave red or pink scarring on the skin.
This is caused from damaged blood vessels under the skin.
They can fade overtime as the skin naturally sheds, however this does take a very long time. This is where microneedling comes in to help! 🥰
Microneedling speeds up the skin’s cell turnover, meaning fresh skin will come through and after a few sessions scarring significantly fades and your complexion evens out! Isn’t that a dream!!! 🥹
….
Why does this happen though? 🤔
As we know, acne is inflammation and a spot is an inflammatory response and as your skin tries to heal itself, your blood vessels naturally widen.
If the breakouts are long-term or intense for the skin it’s pretty much a leftover trauma to the skin from the spot.
Picking, popping, or scrubbing spots can encourage the red scarring as it causes more damage.
