Acne Scar Removal
Sometimes, adolescence and puberty leaves us with undesirable scars from skin conditions like acne. Fortunately, Dermagenix Medical Spa offers a variety of treatments to help remove and reduce the scarring left by acne.
Dermal Fillers
At the Spa we offer a variety of dermal fillers, which can help rid some types of acne scars.
- Juvederm fillers
- Radiesse fillers
- Artefill fillers
Dermal fillers work by being injected into acne scars to raise the surface of the skin. This restores the smoothness of the surface of the skin. While injections do not permanently correct acne scars, some fillers like the Radiesse fillers, can last up to 18 months before the another treatment is needed.
Laser Resurfacing
The laser, one of the greatest developments of the 20th century, is used to treat several skin defects including acne scars. Either a carbon dioxide or erbium laser is used to treat acne scars. The procedure works by burning the top layers of skin to a very precise depth. Newer appearing skin replaces the burned layers as the skin is healing. Aftercare is very critical in this procedure as it plays a large role in determining the success of the procedure.
Other Options
Other methods of removing and treating acne scars include procedures that are more surgically based
- Punch excision
- Subcutaneous incision
