Using Different Options for Acne Scar Treatment

Using Different Options for Acne Scar Treatment

Acne is a normal part of life, and many people of all ages experience it at some point in their lives. Typically occurring in young teens during puberty, most teenagers at some point during their teen years will experience acne and breakouts on their skin. While it is harmless, continually occurring pimples and acne breakouts can lead to inflamed and broken skin, thereby causing acne scars that can be permanent.

Acne is caused when pores get clogged with bacteria, dirt, and oil either externally by germs or environmental factors or even from the body’s own sweat and natural oils. Once clogged, these pores become inflamed, red, tender, and sometimes even painful to the touch, sporting a bump filled with puss and bacteria. It is advised to not pick or pop the acne and to let it heal on its own or with the use of acne-aiding skincare and hygiene products; otherwise, you risk skin damage and the bacteria spreading to nearby spots on the skin, forming more painful acne in the form of cysts.

While breakouts can be caused by stress, puberty, hormones, a poor diet and lifestyle, allergic reactions, or incorrect use of products , constant breakouts on the same regions of the face, arms, chest, and even back can cause the skin to break, become rough and textured and cause permanent discolouration and scars that may resemble cracks, indentations, and pit-like raised structures. Such acne scars need professional intervention to be corrected. This is where acne scar treatment comes into play to peel back the top layers and reveal fresh layers from beneath while working to stimulate collagen on the surface to smooth out the skin to cause it to even out.

With the help of resurfacing treatments, laser therapy, dermal fillers, chemical peels, radio-frequency treatment therapy, exosomes treatment, microneedling, and even manual subcision can all help to eliminate stubborn acne scars and give you smooth and clear-looking skin.

At Hush Beauty, our medical experts can work with you for all types of skin scars with a variety of different treatments and scar types for effective acne scar treatment. For milder scars that are not as deep or too old, chemical peels and stringent chemical abrasion treatments are used to scrape away the uppermost layer of the skin and unveil a fresh layer of skin to emerge from beneath. Several treatment sessions may be required, depending on the scar type. For more obvious looking and deep scarring, laser therapy may be used that encourages and stimulates the skin to produce collagen in which it will repair and smoothen itself. In addition, microneedling with radio frequency waves can be used to penetrate energy waves under the skin to help it heal and become plumped and smooth. Dermal fillers are another option to instantly plump up the skin by injecting a hyaluronic acid to the areas directly causing it to become visibly plump and smooth. Sometimes, manually conducting a subcision with a needle can assist in filling indentations by correct scar tissue with the use of a needle. For deep and spread-out scars, exosome treatment is used by directly injecting exosomes (stem cell-derived atoms) directly into the skin to rejuvenate and stimulate the skin to produce collagen, reduce inflammation, and help in healing the scars.
