Studying the Varied Acne Scar Removal Treatments
Among the various acne scar reduction procedures are:
1) Microneedling with PRP (Vampire Facial)
A vampire facial is a combination of the microneedling technique and platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) therapy. It addresses a host of skin concerns, such as rough skin texture, acne spots, and pigmentation.
This facial treatment administers nutrient-dense platelets obtained from the person’s blood to the skin; this plasma has a high concentration of growth factors. Moreover, as part of microneedling, this treatment deploys small-sized needles to create micro-injuries on the skin. All this promotes the body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen production.
2) Chemical Peels
Chemical peel treatment involves applying an acidic solution to exfoliate the skin’s top, middle, and deep layers, facilitating the removal of excess oil, dead skin cells, and impurities. Your provider will prepare the peel solution, depending on your acne condition, severity of scars, and skin type.
3) Subcision for Deep Scars
Subcision, as a minimally invasive treatment, involves the use of needles to destroy the fibrotic bands underneath the skin’s surface. This helps to free the skin from the underlying scar tissue, which creates the pulling effect. This way, the skin starts to lift and reduces the appearance of the ugly scars, revealing a clear complexion. Your practitioner could also recommend combining subcision with microneedling, dermal fillers, or other treatments – for an enhanced effect.
3) Dermal Fillers
Filler treatment is all about injecting the treatment site with fillers, such as hyaluronic acid and other substances. This creates a plumped-up effect, making your skin soft and smooth. You may have to attend multiple sessions because the body absorbs the filler material gradually. Your dermatologist will determine the number of sessions you need, based on the type of acne scars.
4) RF Microneedling (Morpheus8, Secret RF)
Secret RF and Morpheus8 are among RF Microneedling treatments that include a mix of microneedling and radiofrequency energy. Microneedling deploys tiny needles to create small-sized injuries on the skin. Plus, radiofrequency delivers heat energy to the skin’s deep layers. This stimulates collagen production and imparts the tightening effect. It is a safe, quick and effective way of lightening your acne scars, enhancing your appearance.
5) Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion helps to reduce your acne scars with its exfoliating action, supporting collagen production and improving your overall skin tone.
6) Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
PRP therapy involves drawing and processing the person’s blood to acquire platelet-rich plasma. After processing, this concentrated plasma is injected into the treatment areas to improve the appearance of your scars. You have to attend multiple PRP sessions before the results become visible.
7) Skin Boosters
Skin boosters impart deep hydration benefits. They contain hyaluronic acid which traps moisture in the skin, resulting in fibroblast stimulation and collagen synthesis. They help to alleviate various skin concerns, including superficial fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, open pores, and skin dryness, among others.
8) Laser Resurfacing
Laser treatment deploys laser beams to infiltrate the skin to heat the skin’s layers to promote collagen production. It sheds the skin’s topmost layer to reveal new skin cells, lending a youthful complexion.

FAQs
1. How do acne scars develop?
Acne scars form on the skin as part of the healing process after acne lesions (such as nodules or cysts) infiltrate the skin to cause inflammation of the underlying tissue. Acne scarring can be pigmented, depressed, or raised. Depending on the severity of your acne scars, your provider at Kosmoderma will draft a customized treatment plan for you.
2. When do acne treatment results become visible?
The results of acne removal procedures start showing within 4 to 6 weeks after your treatment session. However, it takes 2 to 3 months for your skin to be clear of acne completely.
3. How long do the results of skin booster treatment for acne scars last?
The results of skin boosters last for 6 to 12 months. It all depends on your skin condition and skincare regime.
4. How are dermal fillers and skin boosters different?
Skin boosters and dermal fillers differ in lift and longevity. Skin boosters moisturize your skin and help you regain a healthy glow. On the other hand, dermal fillers restore volume and make the skin soft, revealing a younger-looking complexion.
Nonetheless, both treatments administer hyaluronic acid and other nutrients to the skin via fine needles. While the results of filler treatments last for 9 to 12 months, the results of skin boosters last for 6 months or more. The longevity of the results depends on your skincare ritual and lifestyle choices.
