Active pimples are frustrating, but the scars that they leave behind can be even more maddening. If you manage to get your acne under control, you may wish that you could eliminate the scars and dark spots that the lesions leave behind.
Have you ever had an acne scar that goes away after a while? That’s generally not acne scarring, but usually It’s post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
When your skin becomes wounded or inflamed, it can produce extra melanin as it heals. Melanin can make your skin darker at the site of the acne spot. Even after the lesion has healed, the dark spot may remain. It might be dark pink, purplish or brown, depending on your skin tone.
These hyperpigmentation marks usually go away on their own. However, they may not disappear completely for up to six months.
Acne scarring is more severe. True scars can develop when dermis, the thick layer of skin below the epidermis, is damaged. To heal the wound, the body may create more collagen, which is a protein that grows naturally in the body. The collagen fibers have a different texture than the rest of your skin, and they may form a scar.
There are a few types of acne scars:
The appearance of the scars varies depending on the location and type of acne. The various types can also be treated differently.
With acne scar treatments, such as ice pick scars, the objective is to restore scars in the dermis. The appropriate solution for you depends on the different types of acne scars you have, your skin tone, and the degree of scar tissue damage.
Acne scar treatment options include laser treatment and skin resurfacing. At Hair and Skin Science, we can safely treat acne on all skin types, regardless of skin texture. Our therapy solutions offer a non-invasive alternative to a subcision, and they aim to improve your appearance and self-esteem.
Unlock the healing power of your own blood with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), one of the most advanced and effective treatments for acne scarring available at Hair & Skin Science in Australia. Not only is PRP an outstanding solution for reducing the appearance of scars, but it’s also effective in treating active acne outbreaks.
The treatment involves drawing a small sample of your blood, which is then processed in a specialised centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma. These platelets are rich in growth factors that play a crucial role in cellular regeneration and tissue repair. When injected back into the affected areas of your skin, these growth factors stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin, restoring the skin’s natural texture and elasticity. Enhanced blood flow further rejuvenates the skin’s dermis, leading to a visible reduction in acne scarring and a revitalised complexion.
Choose PRP skin treatment for a holistic approach to acne management and embrace the flawless skin you deserve.
