While acne can be distressing on its own, the aftermath of acne scars can leave individuals struggling with self-confidence and self-esteem issues post acne treatment. This is especially true for people of color who often experience hyperpigmentation along with acne scarring. Fortunately, advancements in cosmetic dermatology have led to numerous treatment options for addressing acne scars. In this post, Dr. Ip, a Boston top Dermatologist will explore effective acne scar treatments offered in-office by Vibrant Dermatology in Dedham, MA.
Radiofrequency Microneedling Therapy
RF Microneedling is an advanced skin treatment that uses tiny needles to create small wounds, stimulating the body’s natural healing process. This leads to the regeneration of elastin cells and collagen fibers, which improves the overall texture and structure of the skin reducing the appearance of acne scarring. It employs bi-polar radiofrequency energy for a powerful rejuvenating effect. The procedure takes around 20-60 minutes with a quick recovery requiring minimal downtime. RF Microneedling is a safe and effective solution for treating acne scarring and hyperpigmentation.
Aerolase Neo Laser Treatment
Laser treatment specifically targets and treats acne while addressing acne scarring. It aids in collagen building which reduces the appearance of acne scars. The treatment penetrates deep into the skin, providing long-lasting results. It requires only 10-30 minutes and can be used on various areas of the body. This laser is an excellent option for those who are still battling their acne as it has multipurpose benefits. Many patients who prefer to avoid prescription medications or cannot tolerate them choose this treatment as results are comparable to a 5-month course of Accutane. Laser treatments offered at Vibrant Dermatology are safe for all skin shades and types.
Intense Pulsed Light Spectrum Laser Treatment
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Treatment not only targets and eliminates acne-causing bacteria but also breaks down old scar tissue from previous breakouts. It smoothens the skin’s surface, closes enlarged pores, and reduces post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This cutting-edge Spectrum laser technology offers a promising solution to combat acne and improve overall skin appearance effectively. Laser treatments offered at Vibrant Dermatology are safe for all skin shades and types.
