Most Effective Acne Scar Treatments
Almost everyone has experienced acne; from our teenage years to the wayward blemish that still pops up in middle age. The good news is that acne is often temporary. Acne scars, on the other hand, can be permanent. This doesn’t mean they’re not treatable, however. In fact, several aesthetic skin care treatments improve the appearance of acne scars. Here are the most effective procedures, most of which we perform at our Denver med spa:
Light Therapy
There are different types of light therapy, with each one offering unique benefits. Blue light therapy is a proactive type of acne scar treatment, as it works to kill acne-causing bacteria and prevent acne from forming (and if acne doesn’t form, acne scars won’t, either). Red light is useful when acne scars already exist. This type of therapy increases circulation to enhance tissue repair and better oxygenate skin cells. It can also help the body better remove dead skin while reducing inflammation.
Microneedling
Microneedling is a process that uses tiny needles to improve the appearance of scars, wrinkles, stretch marks, and other cosmetic concerns. It works by encouraging the body to make more collagen, a protein that plays a prominent role in connective tissues. Collagen helps the skin look fuller, smoother, and more youthful.
Vi Chemical Peel
A Vi chemical peel helps treat acne scars by removing the outer, older layer of skin using salicylic acid. This layer is replaced by fresher, newer skin with a smoother appearance. A Vi Peel can also prevent acne, therefore preventing further scarring by killing bacteria, reducing inflammation, and unclogging pores, all things that help prevent the formation of pimples.
Soft-Tissue Fillers
If acne scars are especially deep or persistent, soft-tissue fillers can be used to improve the skin’s appearance. This process injects filler directly into the acne scar to smooth out the scar and improve texture. Like other fillers, the effects aren’t permanent, typically lasting for a few months, and require consistent maintenance for the most optimum outcome.
Acne scars don’t have to scar you for life; several treatments rejuvenate your skin and zap the remnants of zits. The latest skin care procedures make it possible to forget that pimples were ever there.
