Acne scars treatment: Acne scars are permanent textural changes and indentations that occur on the skin because of severe acne. As the bumps and lumps of active acne come and go, it often leaves our skin red, irritated, inflamed and uneven.
Dermabrasion
Dermabrasion remove the epidermis with or without the dermis and significantly define scar edges. It’s effective for well-defined scars with distinct borders and broad-based scars with indistinct borders, but not for icepick or deep boxcar scars.
Skin peeling
Chemical peels can treat small depressed scars. Medium-depth peels result in moderate clinical improvement of 51-75 percent clearance, but controlling peel depth is difficult.
Microneedling
Microneedling skin pricks eventually lead to collagen production, making skin smoother and improving rolling acne scars. It’s also advantageous because it keeps the epidermis in tact. Full results appear within 8-12 months. This treatment option also enables the skin to absorb topical agents to improve cosmetic results.
Acne scars treatment subcision
Scar subcision is a special type of acne treatment that is best suited for those who have very deep “rolling” acne scars. Subcision releases the overlying skin and generally decreases the depth of the scar depressions. Scar subcision does work on “ice pick” type scars, however for these “rolling” scar depressions it is an ideal treatment. Most people notice significant improvement; however those who experience the best results are probably those who combine this procedure with another treatment modality such as micro needling.
Nanofat acne scars
Nanofat grafting refers to the very small particles of fat that are specifically filtered and emulsified and used for areas to be injected, in this process the harvested fat filtered and emulsified to obtain nano-particles.This emulsion contain high percentage of stem cells,endothelial cells, monocytes, macrophages and granulocytes which activation of stem cells increases collagen production. During processing and filtering harvested materials many fat cells die (cell apoptosis). Nanofat grafting has been shown to have beneficial effects in the treatment of scars, wrinkles, and skin discolorations.
