Types of Acne Scars
The type and extent of your scars will determine which treatments will produce the best result for you. Acne scars appear in several forms:
Ice-pick scars
These scars appear as a narrow pit on the skin’s surface.
Rolling scars
These scars create depressions in the skin surface, with an undefined edge.
Boxcar scars
These depressions have a defined edge.
Atrophic scars
These scars are flat, thin, or depressed.
Some deeper acne scars can be smoothed with an injection of a dermal filler. Our injection specialist uses a meticulous injection technique to give deep acne scars a smooth look. The treatment must be repeated as the filler is absorbed, but it lasts for several months.
IPL, or “intense pulsed light,” has proven to improve skin quality and make acne scars less visible. The treatment involves bursts of intense light energy, applied to the affected area to treat unevenly toned skin. This cutting-edge light therapy can effectively treat red or brown areas of your skin.
At B + A Medical Aesthetics, we resurface skin with one of the world’s most effective devices—Morpheus8. Skin resurfacing with this advanced system involves RF (radiofrequency) energy delivered into deep layers of the skin. This triggers natural collagen production for smoother and firmer skin. This treatment is safe to perform on all skin types.
Regularly scheduled HydraFacial treatments will keep your skin looking refreshed, plump, and hydrated. It also keeps your skin super-cleansed, warding off future breakouts that could further damage your skin.
A customized chemical peel will help rejuvenate your skin by removing the damaged top layer. This reveals fresh, healthy skin cells for smoother and more evenly toned skin. We may advise a Signature ZO Peel, customized ZO Peel, or a series of gentle peels performed at regular intervals.
