It’s Time To Address Acne Scarring
Acne scarring… the elephant in the cosmetic industry room.
Skincare products claim to get rid of acne. The makeup industry makes billions every year on products to cover up acne. But if you have acne scarring, you know that – more often than not – many of these products fall short. Where does this leave your acne-scarring struggle?
Did you know that 95% of people who suffer from acne or have had acne in the past are left with acne scarring? Scars are pesky little things, and they are often permanent, depending on the severity of the original damage to the skin.
The Blonde Injector has got you covered – Let’s discuss acne scarring and the aesthetic treatments available to correct it!
Do Acne Scars Look Better Over Time?
It’s a common belief that mild scars eventually go away… maybe in months or possibly after years, depending on the severity of the scarring. That’s not entirely true with acne scarring, though. While the scars may lighten over time, they never go away completely for some people, and the indentations left behind from severe acne almost never disappear.
Furthermore, as we age, our skin’s collagen production diminishes, making existing scars even more noticeable as we get older.
If you’re feeling discouraged at this point, take a deep breath. You’ll be happy to know there are several minimally invasive cosmetic treatments that can kick your acne scarring to the curb for good!
Aesthetic treatments Available for Acne Scarring
Some of the best aesthetic treatments for acne scarring are the ones that boost collagen production. Why? Because that collagen we’re losing as we age is responsible for the growth of new skin cells. New skin means those acne scars will become lighter and lighter until they’re eventually gone!
Laser Treatments
Lasers aren’t just for hair removal anymore (even though we love their hair-busting abilities). Laser skin resurfacing treatments can also reduce the discoloration and scarring left behind by breakouts. The laser warms up your skin at the top layer – where the scar lives – and breaks apart the scar tissue that has formed.
The light and heat from the laser treatment also promote healthy blood flow, boosting collagen production and encouraging new skin growth in the area to reduce acne scars' overall appearance.
Microneedling
Have you heard of microneedling therapy? It’s a powerful, anti-aging, medical grade treatment that is minimally invasive but gives you maximum skin rejuvenation. The process involves using tiny needles to create small punctures in the skin. The micro injuries trigger the body’s natural healing abilities to address these tiny wounds by producing more collagen and elastin.
The results are radiant, younger-looking skin that’s free of wrinkles, discoloration, and acne scars!
Medi Facials
Maybe you’ve had a facial before, but have you had a medical-grade facial? These amazing treatments go deeper than simply cleansing and moisturizing your face. They actually restore smoothness, brightness, and that ever-sought-after glow to your face.
A chemical peel is an ideal treatment that can rapidly address acne scarring. The treatment involves using a process called “chemexfoliation” or “derma peeling” to gently remove the old, dull layers of dead skin to reveal the new and glowing skin underneath. The process removes dark spots, acne scars, and damage caused by sun exposure, and is great for those with sensitive skin, dry skin, or acne-prone skin.
Skincare Products
While most over-the-counter skincare products fall flat at removing acne and its residual scars, ZO® SKIN HEALTH is another story. The therapeutic ingredients in this amazing line of medical-grade skin health products have been scientifically proven to get results – and I’ve seen some jaw-dropping results in my own patients!
Not only do ZO Skin Health products help minimize the appearance of acne scarring, but they also combat signs of aging like wrinkles, fine lines, uneven skin tone, dehydration, and dullness.
When it comes to active acne and acne scarring, you can’t go wrong with a skincare regime created by a dermatologist.
