Menopause Q&A: Ria Vandervis on beginning menopause
When did you first start noticing changes in your skin related to menopause or perimenopause? I actually only started noticing this quite recently ...
Scars form when the skin repairs itself after injury, acne, or inflammation. During the healing process, collagen can rebuild unevenly, leaving behind pitted, raised, or discoloured marks. Acne scars in particular are common, with changes to texture and tone that can linger long after breakouts have cleared.
The good news? With targeted treatments that remodel collagen, resurface the skin, and reduce discolouration, scarring can be softened and smoothed, helping your skin look clearer and feel more even.
The most common, particularly on the face from acne. They sit below the surrounding skin and are formed when not enough collagen is made when the wound is healing.
Opposite to atrophic scars, hypotrophic scars sit as raised lumps of scar tissue where the acne once was. They are caused by too much collagen during healing and are most commonly found on the chest and back.
Red, brown, or dark marks after breakouts.

Scars form when the skin heals after injury, acne, or inflammation. As collagen rebuilds, it can create raised, pitted, or discoloured areas that change the skin’s texture and appearance.
Some shallow scars and marks may soften or lighten over time, but deeper scars usually remain. Clinic treatments are the most effective way to remodel collagen and smooth uneven texture.
Caci offers advanced options such as Microneedling, Fractional laser, Rhoto Rejuvenation, and peels. These treatments work by stimulating new collagen, resurfacing the skin, and reducing visible marks or indentations.
This depends on the type and depth of scars. Many clients notice improvements after just a few sessions, with continued results developing over several months as collagen rebuilds.
Once a scar has been improved, it doesn’t return. However, new scars can form if acne or breakouts aren’t managed. That’s why combining scar treatments with an acne management plan is often the best approach.
Most scar treatments are well tolerated. Microneedling may feel like light scratching, while laser treatments use controlled heat. Your therapist will ensure you’re comfortable and guide you through the process.
