Understanding Acne:
Before delving into the treatments, it’s crucial to understand the different types of acne and their potential to cause scarring.
- Mild Acne: Commonly experienced by many, mild acne includes whiteheads and blackheads, which can be bothersome but generally do not lead to severe scarring.
- Moderate Acne: Characterized by red and inflamed papules (small, raised bumps) and pustules (red pimples with white centers), moderate acne has a higher chance of leaving noticeable scars.
- Severe Acne: Severe acne involves the formation of pus-filled cysts or nodules beneath the skin’s surface. This type of acne is more likely to result in permanent scarring.
Types of Acne Scars
Acne scarring manifests in various forms, each requiring targeted treatment approaches. The three primary types of acne scars are:
- Ice Pick Scars: These scars appear as small, deep holes resembling puncture wounds on the skin’s surface.
- Rolling Scars: Caused by the formation of scar tissue beneath the skin, rolling scars create an uneven, wavy appearance.
- Boxcar Scars: Boxcar scars are round or oval depressions, similar to craters, that affect the skin’s texture.
Removing acne scarring with Razor2Laser
At Razor2Laser, we offer a specialised approach to treating acne scars, combining micro-needling and led therapy treatments. These procedures can effectively address both new and older scars by stimulating collagen production and reducing the visible signs of scarring.
Micro-needling and its Benefits
Micro-needling involves creating controlled micro-injuries to the skin, triggering an inflammatory response that prompts collagen production. By increasing collagen levels, the appearance of acne scars can be significantly improved.
LED Light Therapy Treatment
In conjunction with micro-needling, light therapy is employed to enhance the results. Light therapy utilizes specific wavelengths of light to stimulate skin rejuvenation, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.
Treatment Process and Duration
The number of required treatments depends on the severity of your acne scars. On average, 4 to 6 treatments are recommended for optimal results. Severe acne scars, such as those resulting from nodules, may require more sessions.
