Acne Scar Treatment Program: Restore Smoothness to Your Skin
Acne scars, particularly pitted scars, are a persistent issue that can affect anyone, regardless of age or gender. Recent studies show that both comedonal and inflammatory acne can leave behind scars in the form of pits, even after the acne has healed. These scars can cause uneven skin texture, making the skin appear less smooth and less aesthetically pleasing. However, these concerns can be addressed effectively with our specialized acne scar treatment program, designed to help restore a smooth, even complexion and bring back your confidence.
Acne scars, particularly pitted scars, are deep marks that develop on the skin when inflamed acne damages the deeper layers of the skin, preventing proper healing. Acne scars can occur due to several factors, such as:
- Popping or Picking at Pimples: Improperly squeezing or picking at acne can damage the skin and lead to pitted scars.
- Infection: Infected acne that isn’t treated correctly can cause inflammation, further damaging the skin’s structure.
- Improper Acne Treatment: Using inappropriate products or treatments for acne may lead to deeper inflammation, causing scarring.
Recent findings suggest that regardless of the type of acne, even mild inflammation can trigger abnormal healing in the skin, leading to the formation of pitted scars. Each person’s skin structure also plays a role in the likelihood of scarring.
Acne scars come in various types, commonly categorized into three types, each with distinct characteristics and treatment methods:
- Ice Pick Scars
- Appearance: These scars are deep and narrow, often resulting from cystic acne or severe inflamed pimples.
- Boxcar Scars
- Appearance: These scars are wide and shallow with clear, defined edges. They typically occur from acne infections that damage a larger area of skin.
- Rolling Scars
- Appearance: These scars have undefined edges and a wave-like pattern on the skin. They are often caused by collagen loss and the pulling of tissue beneath the skin.
Acne scars are a chronic condition that is difficult to completely eliminate. Treatment aims to help make the scars shallower and smoother, improving the skin’s surface texture. If the scars have been present for a long time, treatment will become more time-consuming and challenging. Typically, acne scar treatments can improve the skin by 60-80% at most.
At 22 Square Clinic, we are dedicated to providing specialized care with expert dermatologists. We offer different treatment programs designed to address various types of acne scars, with each program tailored to the specific needs of the individual. The treatment method is determined after the doctor assesses the skin and scar condition. Here are the five main treatment methods:
- Picolistic
This treatment uses Picolaser with unlimited modes and shots, focusing on stimulating collagen production. It is ideal for treating rolling scars or boxcar scars. - RCROSS
This method involves applying acid to the bottom of the scar, specifically designed for ice pick scars. - Hybrid Biostimulator
This treatment involves injecting collagen stimulators and hyaluronic acid under the acne scars. It is best suited for rolling scars. - Subcision
A technique that involves cutting the scar tissue under the skin to reduce the tension in the scar’s base. This is ideal for treating rolling scars or boxcar scars.
