Before treating your acne scars it is important to ensure you do not have significant active acne. There are many treatments for acne or pimple scarring. They all work at different rates and the costs are vastly different too. Here at Nitai Medical & Cosmetic Centre we offer a range of effective modern treatments for face acne scarring removal to regain your smooth unblemished look.
As in all our treatments, our doctor will first assess your skin type, severity of scarring, and whether your acne has been completely cleared. This information allows our doctor to recommend appropriate treatment along with its estimated cost.
CO2 Laser
This is the one of 2 methods of choice for medium to severe face acne scarring removal. Your therapist directs focused beams of light onto the affected area of your face. CO2 or carbon Dioxide Laser is very effective in treating severe and persistent acne . Often with CO2 lasers there is a significant downtime. Your therapist directs focused beams of light onto the affected area of your face. When the skin is heated by the laser, it initiates the body’s healing response which results in the increased and remodeled production of main structural proteins of the various connective tissues for many months. This leads to lightening of the acne scars.Prior to the treatment a topical anesthetic is used.
Whilst CO2 laser is suitable for most skin types, extreme care needs to be taken for darker skin types. Any tanning history needs to provided to your treating doctor during the consultation.It is important to avoid a suntan 1-2 weeks prior to the treatment. This and other precautions are discussed during a consultation with our doctor to ensure you receive the optimum result .
Fraxel Laser
Fraxel Laser,for a long time has been very effective in treating acne scarring. It is regarded by many as the Gold Standard for acne scar treatment. Fraxel uses tiny columns of light to the target area. The heat generated causes the body’s natural heling response to regenerate new tissues suing remodelled main structural proteins of the various connective tissues, thus gradually reducing the scar.
Microdermabrasion
This is useful for mild scarring. It works by buffing the outer layer of your skin with tiny crystals. This works to stimulate new tissue production thus helping heal acne scars.
Skin Peels
These work to remove the outer layers of your skin and are most suited for superficial scars. They come in different strengths depending on your skin type and the extent of your scarring. Your doctor will decide on the right strength for you.
Skin Needling
This is another treatment that works well with superficial acne scars. It works by puncturing the skin with fine needles to trigger production of main structural proteins of the various connective tissues.
