Even though you’ve now reached adulthood, you most likely still have the presence of acne scars on your face to remind you of those terrifically awkward teen years. There are many treatments available today that can make those acne scars a distant memory—even if they can’t erase that bad choice of a prom date!
Facials
are available today that help renew and rejuvenate your skin in a less invasive way, including helping to reduce active breakouts and minimize the appearance of dark spots caused by acne. Your medical aesthetician can work closely with you to develop a long-term plan designed to give your skin a boost.
Microneedling
Microneedling with SkinPen® helps reduce acne scars as well as other facial issues such as raised scars, rough texture or too-visible pores. Microneedling works by creating controlled micro injuries, a process that helps stimulate new cell growth. Treatments might require several appointments to remove acne scars and give you the smooth and fresh look you want, but they carry the added benefit of rejuvenating aging skin as well as helping fade scars and improve all-over skin texture.
Chemical Peels
A chemical peel can be an effective way to treat minor acne scars and other facial issues such as sun damage, irregular skin pigment and aging. Chemical peels work by removing the top layer of skin with a chemical application. The removal of this top layer regenerates the skin and improves the appearance of the face so your skin feels smoother and looks radiantly healthy.
