Acne Scar


Acne Scar Treatment

Acne scar treatments (or combinations of treatments) reduce skin indentations and depressions by stimulating collagen production which fills up the scars.
Non-Ablative         Semi-Ablative         Ablative

 
No medication is necessary and there is zero-to-minimum down-time. May require multiple treatments for the optimal results. Examples include

Chemical Peeling
Photofacial
Vbeam laser
Thermage
Polaris


 
 

 
 
Some down time expected but faster recovery than Ablative procedures. Examples include

● Fractional Resurfacing

Fractional resurfacing is the latest new system which delivers more than 1000 microscopic laser beams (60µm in diameter, 0.048~1.5mm in depth) to the dermis and creates the Microthermal Treatment Zone (MTZ)
The coagulated MTZ tissue then begins to remodel collagen which generates new healthy tissue during the natural healing process.
This system has the benefit of both ablative and non-ablative skin resurfacing treatment. Unlike other skin resurfacing systems, uniformed micro beams and precise depth control enable deep tissue penetration with remarkable results.

Acne Scar FAQ

Q.I have acne scars all over my face. What are the available treatment options?
A.There are several treatment options available for acne scars. Our Doctor will advise you on the most effective treatment or combination of treatments based on your current scar condition and your preference to post-treatment reactions.



Q.Is it safe to ‘pop’ my acne?
A.Popping pimples can cause complication such as infections and scarring. If a pimple requires popping, an experienced physician should perform the procedure.



Q.I have already tried chemical peeling and laser treatment for my acne scars but I am unhappy with the results. Are more aggressive treatments available?
A.Yes. We have recently introduced one of the latest acne scar treatments called Fractional Resurfacing. Fractional Resurfacing uses micro-laser energy to stimulate new skin growth and induce collagen production without ablating the skin surface completely. The effect is noticeable after the first treatment.



Q.I prefer a treatment with no down-time due to obvious reactions such as redness and swelling. Is such a treatment available?
A.Yes. Photofacial, V-beam Laser, and Chemical Peeling effectively induce collagen production without damaging the skin surface. Therefore, there is no post-treatment redness or inflammation, and you can apply make-up immediately after the treatment. It is also possible with Fractional Resurfacing to limit post-treatment reactions by carefully controlling the laser intensity.



Q.What reactions can I expect after receiving Factional Resurfacing treatment?
A.You may experience redness and swelling for several hours to several days post-treatment depending on the laser intensity used. However, laser intensity can be adjusted to suit your reaction preference. You may also experience dryness and roughness of micro scabs for up to ten days following treatment. During this time, it is important to moisturize and protect the treated area from UV exposure. Micro scabs will shed off naturally after some time. Therefore, you should not peel or scratch them.


Q.What reactions can I expect after FGF or TCA treatments?
A. After FGF treatment, only the prescribed topical medication and dressing tape are allowed on the treated area until the skin is completely healed Ea process which usually takes from seven to ten days. Make-up should be avoided on the treated area during the healing phase. The treated area usually becomes slightly red when the skin is healed. After TCA treatment, the treated area becomes frosty-white and eventually turns into a scab that is later shed off. It is fine to apply make-up over the frosty scab immediately after the treatment. For a few months following treatment, the treated area remains slightly pink but does not need medication.

Q.How many treatments will I need?
A. The number of treatments required for effective results varies from patient to patient and is determined by skin condition, treatment type, treatment intensity, and post-treatment reactions. For Fractional Resurfacing, a single treatment can be effective. But for further improvement, we recommended additional treatments Eusually two or three. For Photofacial, V-beam, and Chemical Peeling, several treatments over a two-to-three week period will be most effective. For FGF and TCA, a single treatment can sometimes remove an acne scar. However, several treatments are sometimes required.
