Acne Scar

Acne scar

Acne scars are usually the result of inflamed blemishes caused by skin pores engorged with excess oil, dead skin cells and bacteria. The pore swells, causing a break in the follicle wall. Shallow lesions are usually minor and heal quickly. But if there is a deep break in the wall of the pore, infected material can spill out into surrounding tissue, creating deeper lesions. The skin attempts to repair these lesions by forming new collagen fibers. These repairs usually aren't as smooth and flawless as the original skin.

There are two main types of acne scars Hypertrophic or keloid scarring:

These scars are caused when the body produces too much collagen as acne wounds heal, resulting in a mass of raised tissue on the skin's surface.

Atrophic or depressed scarring: These scars develop when there is a loss of tissue. There are two common types of atrophic scarring. "Icepick" scars are usually small, yet obvious holes in the skin. "Boxcar" scars are depressed areas, usually round or oval in shape with steeply angled sides, similar to chickenpox scars.

What are the causes of Acne Scars?

Unfortunately acne is very common among teenegers and adults, with exact causes largely unknown. As a result, many people suffer for years before finding a treatment that works for them. In the meantime, acne can worsen and, in the most severe cases, can cause scarring. These happen when nodules and cysts burst and damage the skin, and when sufferers find it difficult to avoid squeezing and picking at spots. In these cases the scars can simply be the redness of the skin, while in others the scars are in the form of small pits in the skin.

HOW IS THIS TREATED?

Acne scars removal with Fractional CO2 Laser. With this procedure, high efficiency is guaranteed. It works by gently removing the outer layers of the skin, thereby exposing a young and fresher skin to give you that youthful look.

CO₂ laser + Radiofrequency

Boosted results by PSD® (Pulse Shape Design) technology: Minimum thermal damage, Least invasiveness and Quicker recovery time.

CO₂ fractional laser combined with Bipolar RF guarantees maximum flexibility of operational parameters and a perfect tailoring to treatments and skin type.

The fractional CO2 laser is often done by applying a local anesthetic cream to the problem area 30 to 45 minutes prior. The procedure itself lasts for only 15 to 20 minutes. https://youtu.be/ZVLLS__RblM

It uses short-pulsed light energy (known as ultra pulse) that is continuously blasted through a scanning pattern in order to remove thin, outer layers of damaged skin.
Once the dead skin cells are eliminated, the procedure activates the production of multiple microthermal zones that reach deep into the skin. Through this, it can stimulate your body’s natural healing process and boost collagen production. This ultimately replaces the old, damaged cells with new, healthy skin.

BOOK TREATMENT

Factors To Consider

A lot of teenagers who suffer with acne are prescribed medication to clear the spots, but can then neglect to treat the acne scars which are left as a result. It is best to treat acne scars when they are still fresh and have not matured. If scars are left untreated, they can be more stubborn and more difficult to treat later on.

Different types of scarring may be present in the same person and different types of scarring respond better to different types of treatment. Therefore, it is common for one person to need a combination of treatments or procedures.
