Treating ➡️ Red Acne Scars

Red acne scars are termed PIE or post inflammatory erythema. Macular erythema refers to the same condition.
.
By definition these scars have not contour changes. The majority of PIE will fade within 3 to 6 months. 20% can linger on for many years.
.
The most common cause is acne. PIE or post inflammatory erythema is a term used to describe red acne scars that linger after pimples. Redness is due to both increased blood vessels & in some cases pigment. By definition PIE is flat, unlike true scarring which has contour changes.
.
For true cases of PIE, the stand out treatment is vascular laser. This laser targets red marks, without breaking the surface of the skin.
