Post-Acne Red Marks Nanaimo
Red Marks That Won't Seem to Fade?
Many people think they have acne scars when they actually have post-acne redness.
Post-inflammatory erythema (PIE) appears as flat red, pink, or purple marks left behind after a breakout has healed. These marks are caused by inflammation and tiny damaged blood vessels near the surface of the skin—not excess pigment.
At Your Skin Magician in Nanaimo, we help clients reduce lingering redness and support healthier, more even-looking skin.
What Causes Post-Acne Red Marks?
Post-acne redness develops when inflammation affects the small blood vessels within the skin.
Common signs include:
Red, pink, or purple marks after acne heals
Skin that remains red long after a breakout is gone
Increased redness in fair or sensitive skin types
Marks that become more noticeable after heat, exercise, or irritation
Unlike brown spots, post-acne redness is vascular in nature and often responds best to treatments that target redness and inflammation.
