ACNE SCARRING

After recovery from acne, some people are left with acne scars on the skin. Although topical skin care products and medications can improve mild scarring, most acne scars are best treated with a combination of skin resurfacing treatments.

WHAT TREATMENTS ARE AVAILABLE AT VENUS MEDICAL FOR ACNE SCARRING?

• Subcision: This type of treatment surgically frees the deeper layers of the skin so scars are no longer bond down. A needle or surgical scissors are used to physically separate the dermis and subcutaneous tissue after topical anesthetic is applied to the treatment area. The skin may experience some bruising in and around the treated area which typically fades in a week or so.
• Fractional CO2 Peel: The latest and most advanced form of skin resurfacing, the Fractional CO2 laser scans across the face and precisely removes the outermost layer of skin, whilst heating the deeper layers. Tiny "fractions" of skin are left untouched by the laser to allow quicker recovery than traditional laser resurfacing. Fractional CO2 laser skin resurfacing removes sun damage, uneven pigmentation, fine lines and scarring. The results is smoother, clearer, brighter skin. You will see an incredible transformation in just days.
• Dermaroller: This treatment is carried out using advanced micro-medical skin-needling which stimulates the skin to regenerate and repair itself naturally, creating smoother, brighter, healthier skin.
