Pitted/Sunken Acne Scars (Atrophic)

1. Ice Pick Scars

Narrow, deep scars that extend into the dermis, resembling tiny holes or large, empty pores.

2. Boxcar Scars

Broad, box-like depressions with sharply defined edges.

3. Rolling Scars

Wide, shallow depressions with smooth, rounded edges. A wavy or undulating appearance on the skin, often making the skin look uneven.

Supplements for Scarring
(Practitioner-Only Supplements)

METAGENICS

MetaPure EPA/DHA

MetaPure EPA/DHA capsules help treat acne through their anti-inflammatory properties. The high concentration of Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, can reduce systemic inflammation, which in turn may lower the occurrence and severity of acne. EPA, can also inhibit the production of leukotriene B4, a substance that regulates sebum production.

Studies have shown a 40-50% decrease in acne lesions after 10 weeks of daily supplementation with 2000mg of EPA/DHA.

METAGENICS

MetaZinc

Zinc supplementation can significantly aid in acne treatment by reducing inflammation, which calms acne lesions. It enhances the immune system’s ability to fight acne-causing bacteria and helps regulate sebum production, preventing clogged pores. Additionally, zinc promotes faster wound healing, reducing the risk of scarring, and provides antioxidant protection to skin cells.

METAGENICS

Ultra Flora Spectrum

The specific Probiotic strains in Ultra Flora help treat acne by balancing the gut microbiome, which in turn influences skin health. An imbalance of gut bacteria, known as dysbiosis, can lead to systemic inflammation and affect the skin's barrier function, contributing to acne. Probiotics support the growth of beneficial bacteria, reducing inflammation and potentially lowering the incidence of acne. They can also enhance the skin's natural defenses, improve immune function, and reduce oxidative stress, all of which contribute to healthier, clearer skin.
