FILLERS FOR ACNE SCAR TREATMENTS



Dermal fillers are a great way to treat and potentially get rid of certain types of acne scarring, being particularly effective for rolling scars and some less defined boxcar scars. They are safe and well tolerated, with great results to fill the depression associated with scars. They are excellent for volume loss caused by acne scarring.

CHEMICAL PEELS FOR ACNE SCAR TREATMENTS



Chemical peels are applied to your skin to remove the top layer and minimize deeper scars of acne thus improving your scars and hence your appearance. Sun exposure, acne or just getting older can leave your skin tone uneven, wrinkled, spotted or scarred. If you want your skin to look smoother and younger, consider a chemical peel, which uses a chemical solution to smooth the texture of your skin by removing the damaged outer layers.

BOTOX FOR ACNE SCAR TREATMENTS



Botox can also be used in the removal of acne scars. In addition to wrinkle removal procedures, Plastic surgeons are now also using Botox injections for the treatment of acne scars. Botox relaxes the area where acne scars are present. Lack of stress on the scars makes them less visible on the skin surface. Also just as in the case of wrinkles where Botox paralyzes the muscles to smooth out the area, similarly for acne scar removal too.

LASERS FOR ACNE SCAR



Laser treatment for acne scars aims to minimize the appearance of scars from old acne outbreaks. Ninety-five percent of people who have acne have some residual scarring. Laser treatment for acne scars focuses light on the top layers of your skin to break up scar tissue. At the same time, the treatment encourages new, healthy skin cells to grow and replace the scar tissue.

PRP FOR ACNE SCAR TREATMENTS



One of the latest and most innovative of solutions for your skin flaws is PRP therapy. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy uses a serum that is derived from your blood. PRP for acne scars has been found to be very effective in helping patients with various kinds of the marks left behind by breakouts. By inserting the PRP serum under the scars, Plastic Surgeons can stimulate the production of collagen in the underlying layers of the skin. As a result, the depressions are reversed. In addition to restoring the flawless appearance of the skin, PRP can also work to prevent fresh breakouts. That's because the therapy can induce the flow of blood, nutrients, and oxygen that work to remove the accumulated toxins in the skin. Doctors may use dermabrasion or micro needling to enhance the effects of PRP facelifts treatment.

MICRONEEDLING FOR ACNE SCAR TREATMENTS



Needling procedures including Dermaroller, Dermapen and Microneedling--This involves rolling a needle-studded device over the skin to stimulate the underlying tissue. It's a safe, simple and possibly effective technique for treatment of acne scarring. The result is subtle, and you may need to repeat the treatments.

DERMABRASION FOR ACNE SCAR TREATMENTS



Dermabrasion. This procedure is usually reserved for more severe scarring. It involves removing the top layer of skin with a rapidly rotating wire brush. Surface scars may be completely removed, and deeper acne scars may appear less noticeable.

Micro-dermabrasion. For this less intensive type of dermabrasion, a Plastic Surgeon or aesthetician uses a spray of very small crystals instead of a high-speed brush to remove surface skin. More than one treatment may be required, and there is no downtime.

SUBCISION TREATMENT METHOD FOR ACNE SCAR





Subcision Treatment Method for Acne Scar

The scars that are not deep enough to require removal, but are too deep to be expected to respond well to laser treatment alone, are treated with a technique known as Subcision. Subcision is a procedure that uses a tiny blade to release the scar from the underlying skin. This allows the depressed area to become somewhat shallower as the firm attachments holding the scar to the deeper tissues are released. Stitches are not required following Subcision. Bruising and swelling may occur following both removal and Subcision of acne scars.

What is Subcision Acne Scar treatment?

Subcision Acne Scar treatment is a minor surgical technique that breaks down skin scars that are depressed and tethered down within your skin. This term Subcision for acne scarring means subcutaneous incisionless surgery for treatment of skin scarring.

Subcision for acne scars is a minor surgical procedure and does not require hospitalisation. The Subcision acne scar procedure is more than just the mechanical release of the strands of fibrous scar tissue.
