Get rid of those acne scars!

Get rid of those acne scars!

If acne is the bane of your existence, you probably know that not all blemishes are created equal. People who suffer from mild acne have only mild scarring after a breakout, while those with chronic, cystic acne can be left with deep scars.

Whether acne has affected you during your teens or as an adult, those deep scars can have a lasting impact on your self-image. Many different types of acne scars exist, ranging from small discoloration to deep pits.

Five Types of Acne Scars

If acne scars have affected your self-image, AlluraDerm MD Med Spa can help bring smoothness back to your skin by diminishing scars with state-of-the-art skin resurfacing treatments like lasers, chemical peels and microdermabrasion.

  1. Acne Marks. If you have red and purple scars caused by acne that are not indented or raised, you’ll likely need microdermabrasion and chemical peels to help exfoliate the surface layers of the skin and restore your complexion.
  2. Ice Pick Scars. These are characterized by small, deep pits throughout the skin. The Fraxel® re:store DUAL laser penetrates deeply into the skin to promote collagen growth that is beneficial to smoothing out these scars over a period of several months.
  3. Box Car Scars. These are angular scars that have sharp edges and resemble chicken pox scars. These scars also benefit from Fraxel® re:store DUAL. For wider scars, patients may also benefit from Juvèderm, which is a hyaluronic acid filler used to fill in wrinkles and deep acne scars.
  4. Rolling scars. These are caused by acne that damaged beneath the top layers of the skin to produce a wave-like effect. Chemical peels, microdermabrasion and dermaplaning, as well as Fraxel®, are often used to treat the unevenness of rolling scars.
