Acne & Scarring Treatment in Puyallup, WA
For most people dealing with persistent or severe acne, it’s more than just a cosmetic concern. Acne can have a major impact on your self-esteem, lead to emotional distress, and leave lasting damage to your skin. When over-the-counter treatments fall short, or when the risk of scarring and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation becomes a reality, it’s time to consider professional care.

What We Offer
Understanding Acne & Post-Acne Scars
Acne is very common and can range from mild to severe. Though it’s commonly associated with adolescence, acne can affect people of all ages. Severe or cystic acne often leads to scarring if not treated properly.
The scarring that acne leaves behind can be just as challenging to treat as the acne itself. This is why, at HRA Skin, we approach acne with a treatment plan that not only improves active breakouts but also prevents and reduces scarring.
Acne & Scarring FAQs
Acne is a skin condition caused by pores that shed too many layers of dead skin cells daily. While “normal” pores shed one layer, acne-prone pores can shed up to five layers daily, causing congestion. This congestion can show up as:
- Non-inflamed acne: whiteheads and blackheads
- Inflamed acne: pustules, papules, and cysts
Other factors, such as lifestyle, genetics, and hormone levels, contribute to acne, but at the cellular level, it’s the result of congested pores.
Yes, some individuals are more prone to acne scarring. Darker skin tones, those with a family history of scarring, and individuals with inflammatory acne may be more susceptible to scarring. Delaying treatment of severe acne also increases your chances of scarring. Additionally, picking or squeezing acne lesions significantly raises the risk of permanent scars.
While not all acne scarring can be prevented, taking certain steps can significantly reduce your chances of scarring:
- Early and appropriate treatment of acne is crucial.
- NEVER pick, pop, or squeeze pimples.
- Use gentle skincare products and protect your skin from sun damage.
- For severe acne, consult an aesthetician who can develop a treatment plan that minimizes scarring potential.
