Acne and Acne Scars

Acne is a common skin condition characterized by the appearance of pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads due to clogged hair follicles or pores. It typically affects the face, shoulders, chest, and back, and can range from mild to severe

Acne results from a complex interplay of factors including excess sebum, clogged follicles, bacteria, inflammation, hormonal changes, genetics, medications, stress, poor sleep, and diet high in refined sugars or dairy.

Treatment for Acne and Acne Scars

Laser therapy – Various laser treatments, such as fractional laser resurfacing or CO2 lasers, can stimulate collagen production and improve scar appearance by targeting specific skin layers, promoting skin renewal and reducing the visibility of acne scars.

Microneedling – This minimally invasive procedure uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating natural collagen and elastin production. This process helps improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of acne scars, and promote overall skin rejuvenation.

Chemical Peels – These treatments involve applying a chemical solution to exfoliate the skin’s outer layers, promoting cell turnover and collagen production. Chemical peels can help improve the appearance of superficial acne scars, reduce hyperpigmentation, and enhance overall skin texture and tone.
