What are Acne Scars?

Acne scars result from inflamed blemishes caused by skin pores engorged with excess oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. When these pores swell, they can break the follicle wall, causing damage to the skin.

The skin naturally repairs itself by forming new collagen fibers, but sometimes, the result isn’t as smooth as your original skin. This process can lead to various types of acne scars, ranging from shallow to deep indentations and, in some cases, raised bumps on the skin.

What are the Different Types of Acne Scar Treatment?

Chemical Therapy For Acne Scars

TCA Cross: TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) Cross is a specialized chemical treatment applied directly to individual acne scars. It stimulates collagen in he scar, helping fill deep indentations and improving skin texture.
Chemical Peeling: Chemical peels reveal new, regenerated skin that is smoother and less scarred. This process can be tailored to different skin types and scarring severity, making them a versatile option for treating acne scars.

Microneedling RF for Acne Scars

Pixel8 RF: Pixel8 RF combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to penetrate the skin’s deeper layers, promoting collagen and elastin production. This dual-action treatment improves the appearance of acne scars and tightens and rejuvenates the skin.
Morpheus8: Morpheus8 is a fractional skin treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy, similar to Pixel8 RF. However, Morpheus8 allows for deeper penetration into the skin, making it an excellent choice for treating more severe acne scars.

Lasers For Acne Scars

Erbium Laser Peel: The Erbium Laser Peel is a powerful resurfacing treatment that removes the outer layers of damaged skin, promoting the growth of new, healthy skin. This treatment is highly effective for reducing surface-level acne scars and deeper scars.
Laser Genesis: Laser Genesis is a non-invasive laser treatment that effectively targets acne scars by stimulating collagen production and promoting skin regeneration. Using gentle micro-pulses of laser energy, Laser Genesis helps to smooth out uneven skin texture, reduce redness, and improve the overall appearance of acne scars.

Microneedling For Acne Scars

Microneedling helps improve the appearance of acne scars by creating tiny micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the skin’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production to repair and renew the skin. As a result, microneedling helps to smooth uneven texture, reduce the depth and visibility of acne scars, and enhance overall skin tone.
