Still struggling with acne scars? We have the best solution for you!
First is to identify the types and severity of acne scars, and based on that to choose the best available procedure just for you.
Types of scars:
– Ice pick scars: Deep, narrow, pitted scars that appear as small, sharp holes in the skin
–Box scars: Round or oval depressions with steep, sharp vertical edges. They tend to be shallow or deep and often appear on the cheeks and temples.
–Rolling scars: Wide depressions that create a wavy, uneven appearance. They are caused by fibrous tissue tethering the skin to deeper structures
–Hypertrophic scar: Raised, red, or pink, but generally remain confined to the boundaries of the original acne lesion. Some may grow beyond the original acne site and are more common in skin of color
Types of treatment available :
1/ Chemical peels
-removing damaged skin layers and stimulating the body to produce new collagen
-Chemical peels alone may not completely erase deep, fibrotic, or tethered scars
2/ Microdermabrasion
-Creates microscopic, controlled injuries for collagen induction therapy to lift and smooth acne scars.
-Highly effective for reducing acne scars depth and improving skin texture.
3/ Subcision
-Inserting a cannula to break fibrous bands that pull the skin downward, particularly rolling scars.
-By releasing these tethering bands, the scar lifts, and the technique stimulates collagen production, further smoothing the skin.
4/ Fractional CO2 laser
-Creating microscopic, deep columns of thermal damage, which trigger skin remodeling and tighten the skin
-Highly effective for atrophic scar such as box scar and rolling scars.
With different types of treatment available , it is still recommended to combine them for superior results. Multiple session of treatment is required to see significant improvement.
