Acne Scars are a common skin concern that can affect both skin texture and appearance. At Lejeune Medspa, there are many advanced treatments offered to help reduce the appearance of acne scars and restore smoother, clearer skin. The treatments are customized based on the type and severity of the scars, with treatments ranging from microneedling to laser therapy, chemical peels, and dermal fillers.

 

Types of Acne Scars:

1. Atrophic Scars: These are depressed scars that form due to the loss of skin tissue, often appearing as:

   Ice pick scars: Deep and narrow

   Boxcar scars: Broad with well-defined edges

   Rolling scars: Wavy and uneven

2. Hypertrophic or Keloid Scars: Raised scars caused by excess collagen production during the healing process.

 

 Effective Treatments for Acne Scars

1. Microneedling:

How it works: This minimally invasive treatment uses fine needles to create micro-injuries on the skin’s surface, stimulating collagen production to repair and smooth out depressed scars.

Ideal for Atrophic scars such as rolling and boxcar scars.

 

Results: Over a series of sessions, microneedling can significantly reduce the appearance of scars, making the skin smoother and more even.

 

2. Chemical Peels: 

 

How it works: Chemical peels involve applying a solution to the skin that exfoliates the top layers, promoting the regeneration of new skin cells and improving skin texture.

 

Ideal for Superficial acne scars and hyperpigmentation.

 

Results: Peels help to brighten the skin, reduce discoloration, and smooth out minor scarring.

 

3. Laser Therapy (Fractional laser):

 

How it works: Laser resurfacing uses focused beams of light to remove damaged skin and stimulate collagen production, leading to the formation of new, healthier skin.

 

Ideal for Deep acne scars, including boxcar and ice pick scars.

 

Results: Laser treatments can significantly smooth the skin and improve the appearance of deeper scars after a few sessions.

 

4. Dermal Fillers:

   

How it works: Dermal fillers are used to temporarily fill depressed acne scars, making the skin’s surface smoother.

 

Ideal for Deep atrophic scars like rolling scars.

 

Results: Fillers provide instant improvement in the appearance of scars, though results are temporary and typically last 6-18 months.

 

5. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy:

   

How it works: Platelet-rich plasma, derived from the patient’s blood, is applied to the skin post-micro needling or laser treatments to enhance healing and boost collagen production.

 

Ideal for Accelerating the healing process and improving the texture of acne-scarred skin.

 

Results: PRP enhances the overall effectiveness of other treatments by promoting faster recovery and rejuvenation.

 

6. Subcision:

 

How it works: A minor surgical procedure where a needle is inserted under the skin to break up the fibrous bands causing depressed scars.

 

Ideal for: Deep rolling scars.

 

Results: Subcision releases the scar tissue, allowing the skin to rise and appear smoother.

 

 

What to Expect During Treatment:

 

Consultation: The process begins with a thorough skin assessment by a dermatologist to determine the type of acne scars and the most suitable treatment.

 

Tailored Treatment Plan: Depending on the severity and type of scars, a personalized treatment plan is created, which may include one or a combination of the above treatments.

 

Treatment Sessions: Most treatments require multiple sessions, spaced a few weeks apart to achieve the best results.

 

Downtime: The amount of downtime varies based on the treatment. For example, laser therapy may involve a few days of recovery, while microneedling and chemical peels usually have minimal downtime.
