Banish Acne & Scars for Good: Expert Acne Treatments at Calgary Vein & Laser
Acne is a common skin condition that typically starts during adolescence and can continue into adulthood. It occurs when the pores in your skin become blocked by sebum, a natural oil produced by the body. Acne can range in severity – in more severe cases, painful, inflamed lesions may form, which, if left untreated, can lead to scarring.
Acne comes in various forms, each with distinct characteristics and levels of severity. Understanding the different types of acne can help in identifying the most effective treatment options. From mild cases like whiteheads and blackheads to more severe conditions such as nodules and cysts, each type requires a tailored approach to effective care. Whether you're dealing with surface-level blemishes or deeper, more painful lesions, knowing the specific type of acne is crucial for choosing the right skincare routine and treatment plan to achieve clearer, healthier skin.
Whiteheads form when pores are clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria but remain closed at the surface. They appear as small white bumps on the skin.
Blackheads occur when a pore is clogged with the same debris as whiteheads but remains open at the surface. The dark appearance is due to oxidation, not dirt.
Papules are small, red, inflamed bumps that develop when clogged pores become irritated. They don’t contain pus and can be tender to the touch.
Pustules are similar to papules but are filled with pus, giving them a white or yellowish appearance. They are typically red at the base and can become infected.
Nodules are large, hard, painful lumps that form deep beneath the skin’s surface. They can take longer to heal and often lead to scarring if untreated.
Cystic acne consists of large, pus-filled lesions that develop deep within the skin. This severe form of acne can be painful and is more likely to cause scarring.

Acne scarring develops when severe acne causes damage to the skin's tissue, leaving behind permanent marks or indentations. These scars form as the body tries to heal the affected area, often resulting in a variety of scar types, including atrophic scars (such as ice pick, boxcar, and rolling scars), hypertrophic scars, and keloids. Additionally, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) can occur, leaving dark or red spots. Acne scarring can lead to uneven skin texture, discolouration, and long-term cosmetic concerns.
These scars sit below the surrounding skin level due to a loss of tissue. They are commonly associated with severe acne and come in three main forms:
These scars are raised above the skin’s surface and occur when the body produces too much collagen during the healing process. Hypertrophic scars are more common on the back, chest, and shoulders.
A type of hypertrophic scar, keloid scars extend beyond the original wound area. They are raised, thick, and can grow larger over time. Keloid scars are more common in individuals with darker skin tones.
Though not a true scar, Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) refers to dark or red spots left behind after acne heals. These marks eventually fade but can take months or even years to disappear without treatment.
