What Are The Possible Ways to Minimize or Treat Scars?
- iPixel
iPixel is one of the most advanced laser skin-resurfacing treatments currently available. Approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), the technology is aimed at improving the appearance of acne scars, blemishes, and wrinkles. This new generation of treatment does minimal damage to the outer skin layer thus minimising redness and downtime.
- Subcision
Subsicion is a minor in-office surgical procedure thatโs used to treat acne scars. It involves inserting a small needle into your skin to release the acne scar from the underlying tissue. This allows your skin to rise and diminish the appearance of the acne scar.
- TCA Cross
The TCA CROSS is effective in treating various acne scar types particularly deep. This simple procedure outperforms even the most powerful and latest lasers. It involves the application of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) for a targeted chemical reconstruction (CROSS) aimed at diminishing acne scars. By stimulating collagen synthesis, it effectively raises the depth of these rooted scars, restoring damaged skin and resurfacing them for a smoother, rejuvenated appearance.
- Mono Threads
Mono threads can work wonders on atrophic acne scars. This technique works in a two-fold action โ the needle used to insert the threads uses a Subsicion technique to cut any retracting old acne scars. Secondly, once the needle is removed the threads left behind will stimulate collagen production in the long run causing the skin to become plumper and more even in appearance. The effects of these techniques are typically permanent after 3-6 sessions.
- Microneedling
It is mainly used on the face and can treat various scars, wrinkles, and large pores. It increases the production of collagen and elastin fibers within the skin, making it smooth, firm, and toned. It is a minimally invasive procedure that uses fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. This stimulates the bodyโs natural healing process to produce new collagen and skin tissue. The session depends on the severity of the scars; for mild to moderate scars, it may take 3-6 sessions spaced over 4-6 weeks. For more severe scars, you may need up to 12 sessions. Keep in mind that it can take up to 6 months to see the desired result.
Your scars are an undeniable part of your history, but they donโt have to be your future. If you are looking for scars treatment, we welcome you to book a consultation with us. Alternatively, please contact us to speak to one of our experts.
