ACNE SCARS

ACNE SCARS

Acne scarring can be more than just a reminder of past breakouts or teenage years. They can persist into adulthood and significantly impact self-esteem and confidence. At Aesthetica Medical, we understand the physical and emotional toll acne scars can take. That's why we're dedicated to offering effective treatments to reduce their appearance and help you feel more comfortable in your skin.

WHAT ARE ACNE SCARS?

At Aesthetica Medical, we understand that each individual's skin is unique, as are their experiences with acne and scarring. Our experienced and professional team is committed to helping you find a treatment plan that suits your specific condition.

Acne scars result from inflammatory blemishes sprouting from pores, overloaded with surplus oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. An expanded pore causes a break in the follicle wall, sparking larger infections known as nodules or cysts. In its battle, the skin forms new collagen fibres, aiming to repair these lesions, but these are often not as smooth as the original skin, leaving behind the traces of this battle - scars. 

THREE MAIN TYPES OF ACNE SCARS

Ice pick scars are deep, very narrow scars that penetrate the skin. They look as if a tiny ice pick punctured a hole in your skin.
Boxcar scars are round or oval depressions, or craters, in the skin.
Rolling scars: These are caused by damage under the skin. They give the skin a wave-like appearance.

Each type of scar responds best to different types of treatment. At Aesthetica Medical, we offer a range of treatments to help reduce the appearance of all types of acne scars.

OUR TREATMENT FOR ACNE SCARS

At Aesthetica Medical, we offer a range of treatments specifically designed to address acne scars and improve the texture and appearance of your skin. Our treatments include Microneedling, Hydra-Needling, and Chemical Peels. Each of these treatments works in a unique way to help reduce the appearance of acne scars and promote healthier, smoother skin.

SKINPEN MICRONEEDLING

Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that involves using a device with fine needles to create tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin. This process stimulates the body's natural wound-healing process, resulting in increased collagen and elastin production, which can help reduce acne scars' appearance.

During a microneedling treatment, you can expect a small handheld device to be moved across your skin, creating micro-injuries that stimulate new collagen synthesis. A soothing serum follows each treatment to help calm the skin. Over the next few weeks, your skin's natural healing process promotes the growth of new, healthy skin cells that smooth out and fill in depressed acne scars.

HYDRA-NEEDLING

Hydra-Needling, or micro-needling with infusion, combines the benefits of micro-needling and topical serum infusion. This treatment stimulates collagen production and ensures that beneficial serums are delivered directly into the deeper layers of the skin.

During a Hydra-Needling treatment, a device with tiny needles creates micro-channels in the skin, while at the same time, a hydrating serum is infused directly into these channels. This process helps to hydrate the skin, improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of acne scars.

Combining micro-needling and serum infusion results in a more effective treatment than either process alone. The result is smoother, healthier-looking skin with reduced scarring.

CHEMICAL PEELS

Chemical peels are a technique where a chemical solution is applied to the skin to remove the top layers. The skin that grows back after a chemical peel is smoother and younger-looking, helping to reduce the appearance of acne scars.

At Aesthetica Medical, we offer a range of chemical peels, from light to deep, depending on the severity of the scarring. During a chemical peel treatment, a solution is applied to the skin that causes it to exfoliate and eventually peel off. The new, regenerated skin will be smoother and less scarred than the old skin.

Chemical peels can be a very effective treatment for improving skin texture, texture and enhancing overall skin health.

The duration of each treatment session can vary, typically ranging from 30 minutes to an hour. The exact length will depend on the specific treatment used and the treated area.


What is the Recovery Period Like?

The recovery period following acne scar treatment is generally minimal, with most patients able to return to their regular activities immediately. Some mild redness or swelling may be observed initially, but this usually subsides within a few days.

The number of treatment sessions required will depend on the severity of your acne scars and your individual response to treatment. On average, patients may require multiple sessions spread over several months to achieve the best results. Your practitioner will provide a more accurate estimation during your consultation.
