Facial abnormalities in terms of skin problems are one of the major reasons why there are so many dermatological labs and clinics in the cities these days. The skin is a reflection of one’s health. There are some key things that affect the way your skin looks and feels and a bad lifestyle and/or poor diet have a direct role to play in your skin’s quality.
But in some cases, there might be internal factors such as hormonal imbalance that may cause the skin to continuously break out and cause scars. Acne Scar Treatment is one of the most popular options present today to take care of such issues.
Scars may look quite unnatural and may look abnormal on the skin, inhibiting the person's confidence and aesthetic presence. Thankfully there are many different treatment methods available at a Dermatologists’ clinic to treat and manage such skin issues.
What is Acne?
Acne is a skin issue that is very common in men and women particularly at a younger age. Acne can occur due to a combination of different factors and can be quite annoying to get rid of.
They may face challenges not just aesthetically but also in terms of pain, redness, and inflammation on the site of the acne. They may also leave behind terrible acne scars which can permanently cause marks on the face and other areas. Acne can be divided into a few categories based on the infection and its appearance.
●
Whiteheads
- small white-colored bumps that are filled with oil, dirt, and dead
skin cells
●
Blackheads
- Small pores that appear black since they are open on the skin
●
Papules
- Small bumps that appear red and are filled with dead skin or oil
residue on the face
●
Pustules
- White center and red inflamed skin around the pimples caused by bacterial
attack
●
Nodules
- Caused by acne bacteria which appear red and are inflamed deep into
the skin
● Cysts - large, pus-filled pimples that are very painful and a result of deep skin infection
Acne Scar Treatment Procedures
Acne scar can be treated with a combination of techniques and the most popular ones are listed below:
Non-Laser Based Treatments
1.
Chemical Peels
An easy chemical method in the form of a facial peel can be slathered on the face causing the facial skin to exfoliate chemically and reveal a brighter fresher looking skin beneath
2.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion uses a sand-off technique to remove the dead skin by causing small damage to the upper layer thus generating a surge in collagen on the face which eventually gives brighter and plumper skin naturally.
3. Dermaroller
Dermaroller uses a rolling pin design on a wheel-based handheld instrument that has small needles that make small pricks on the skin. These pricks generate small tears which invoke collagen production thus giving rise to brighter new skin.
Laser-Based Treatments
1.
CO2 Laser
One of the most popular Acne Scar Treatment, CO2 Laser uses noninvasive techniques to treat superficial and mild scars and helps evening out the skin’s surface, treat wrinkles and fine lines to reveal a younger-looking brighter skin within.
2.
Erbium Glass Laser
This method uses contact cooling methodology to treat mild to moderate scars. The specialty of this treatment lies in repairing sun damage and also repairing wrinkles to give younger-looking skin.
3. Plasma Treatment
Platelet Rich Plasma treatment technique needs to be done in combination with the laser technique to get the best result.
