Acne is a common skin condition that causes a distressful experience among many individuals. This condition affects the overall appearance as the excess oils and dead skin cells clog up the skin pores and hair follicles and impart a negative impact on the overall tone and texture of the skin. For most people, it is an unpleasant temporary experience that resolves on its own with time. But many severe acne forms result in the formation of scars in different body parts such as the neck, back, shoulders, and face.
How can acne scar be treated?
Acne
scars are usually permanent, so it is important to see a dermatologist if one
is developing them. The best way to treat acne scars is to treat acne
conditions at the initial stage. Left or untreated acne can result in forming
acne scars. Advanced dermatology
treatments provided at Veya Aesthetics are very much effective in removing acne
scar conditions. Based on the type of acne scars and the recovery time help
determine the treatment type to be provided. At Veya Aesthetics, laser
treatment effectively removes acne scars, resulting in an improved skin tone.
Laser resurfacing method:
The
deep acne scars can be treated by using ablative laser light, which causes the
peeling of the superficial skin layers to reveal the new skin lying underneath
the damaged skin.
Pre-treatment- The dermatologist
examines the skin of the patient and reviews the patient’s medical history. A
proper discussion is made between the patient and the skin doctor regarding the
treatment plan, risks, expectations, and outcome of the procedure. The
dermatologist also recommends avoiding smoking and consumption of certain
medications that can hamper the process.
During treatment- The fraction of
laser light is directed onto the skin without harming the outer protective
barrier of the skin. It penetrates deep into the skin, thereby creating many
tiny, microscopic columns of thermal damage. This, in turn, promotes the skin
healing process by promoting new collagen synthesis. Thus, the heat-damaged
skin is then replaced by new epidermal fresh-looking skin.
· The
laser treatment minimizes the scar tissue by breaking up the damaged and dark
tissue and encouraging new, healthy skin cells to grow and replace the scar
tissue.
· The
lasers also improve the blood flow with the heat, and inflammation is also
reduced as the blood vessels connected to the scar are targeted. The surface of
the skin can look red and swollen while it is healing after the treatment.
However, once the treatment is completed and the skin has healed, smoother
scar-free skin can be observed.
Post-treatment-
After
the treatment, moisturizes, and sunscreen are applied over the treated area.
After 24 hours, the treated area can be cleansed, and petroleum jelly can be
applied to avoid scabbing. After the hearing is over, the patient must keep the
new skin moisturized. Sun exposure must be avoided as it may cause more damage.
Benefits of laser resurfacing treatment:
·
One
can experience smooth, fresh, and healthy skin.
·
Treatment
also shrinks the enlarged open pores and offers a smooth skin tone and texture.
·
It
helps improve self-confidence as it offers smooth, scar-free skin.
·
It
is a convenient and fast procedure (completed in less than an hour) with no
downtime and minimum discomfort.
·
Skin
appears smoother, as the appearance of the scars becomes less noticeable.
