Acne Scarring
Acne scarring can be a very troubling problem which can be notoriously difficult to treat.
While it is impossible to remove the scars completely, treatments are available which can significantly improve the appearance of your acne scars. There are many different types of acne scars. Some are shallow, deep ” ice pick scars” whereas others may be pigmented.
Acne Scar Treatment options are as follows
Dermapen
Dermapen is scientifically advanced and uses multiple needles which pierce the skin to stimulate collagen leading to skin tightening and remodelling. There is minimal epidermal damage and also enhanced results over dermaroller devices.
INTRAcell
INTRAcel is a revolutionary device which can only be performed by a doctor and cleverly combines two well-established treatment modalities, micro-needling and radio-frequency (RF) skin tightening. Radiofrequency kick starts the skins natural regeneration process by heating the lower layers and stimulates the production of collagen. New collagen production results in an improvement in the appearance of acne scarring..
ZO Medical Range
The ZO Medical range is effective in the treatment of pigmented acne scars. These products are only available from a qualified physician. They contain prescription drugs such as hydroquinone 4% ( a bleaching agent ) and tretinoin ( topical retinoids).
