Acne is a chronic condition that can often lead to scarring. These scars, if left untreated, can last a lifetime, appearing as crater-like indentations on the face and back (in most common cases).
Proper treatment of acne scars can go a long way in minimizing scar appearance. Technology and medical advancements have given us the ability to drastically reduce the appearance of scars and other skin flaws.
At Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group, we provide exciting and cutting-edge treatments that have been shown to reduce and diminish acne scars such as:
Microdermabrasion (also called DermaRolling) is a popular treatment in the minimization of acne scars. DermaRolling has been shown to effectively reduce and diminish small scars, surgical scars, acne scars, and other skin surface irregularities.
DermaRolling involves a handheld device that we roll across the skin, creating micro injuries that accelerate your own body’s natural exfoliation processes. The process also activates your body’s natural growth factors and collagen and elastin-producing abilities, which will help promote healthier skin and a smoothed-out, even-toned complexion. Not only can DermaRolling treat acne scars, but it can also effectively treat fine lines and skin wrinkles, not to mention stubborn stretch marks!
Chemical peels have been around for a while and are used to minimize acne scars, sun-damaged skin, irregular skin pigment, and more. We apply specific chemicals to the skin that work to remove its topmost layer, which will reveal a fresh, smooth complexion underneath.
Collagen injections also work well for acne scars. Collagen, a salt-water substance, gets injected into the treatment area via small needles, acting as a dermal filler which helps reduce the appearance of skin flaws and skin imperfections. In particular, this treatment works to fill in acne scars, leaving behind more smoothly-contoured skin.
Laser resurfacing (also called the laser skin peel), is a cutting-edge treatment that works to remove flawed and damaged skin. This treatment works well in reducing acne scars in particular. In cases where scars are deeply embedded in the skin, more than one treatment may be necessary.
