What are the different types of Acne scarring treatment

Acne is among the most common skin conditions that affect almost 90% of people. Acne scars are caused due to inflammation of the acne blemishes. The pores of the acne swell, which results in the breakdown of the wall of the pores.

How are acne scars formed?
In general, when the oil-secreting glands or sebaceous glands get filled with androgens, they produce oil or sebum. This sebum or oil dries and mixes with the bacteria and dead skin cells just above the hair follicles. This action plugs the opening of the hair follicle which gives rise to more bacteria. This results in an acne breakout.

Usually, the acne blemishes are smaller in size and create shallow scars which heal quickly. Sometimes, the oil or sebum in the blemishes spills over into surrounding tissues. This causes deeper scars that do not go away. The skin responds to the scars and tries to repair them naturally by forming newer collagen fibres. These newer collagen fibres further affect the texture of the skin and impact the overall look and aesthetic appeal of the skin. In this case, you could try acne scarring treatment in Melbourne to effectively treat the acne scars and get a smoother skin texture.

Acne scar treatment Melbourne
Nitai Medical and Cosmetic Centre employs some of the most advanced technological treatments methods for treating acne scars. The different types of acne scarring treatment in Melbourne include:


1. Fraxel Laser Treatment
Fraxel laser treatment is one of the most preferred methods of treating acne scars. Fraxel Lasers deliver microscopic laser energy via beams of high-intensity light on the targeted area of the skin to create minute wounds, which trigger the development of new collagen and tissue via the natural healing process of the skin. This technique provides an effective acne removal treatment in Melbourne with less downtime and less risk.

Fraxel lasers are also very effective in reducing the signs of aging on the skin caused by various environmental factors such as pollution, sun exposure, and smoking. This treatment effectively treats wrinkles, fine lines, melasma, acne scars, skin tightening and skin rejuvenation.

2. Vivace Skin Needling
Vivace is an innovative and minimally invasive skin treatment that utilises fractional micro needles and radiofrequency waves to alleviate, reduce or heal various skin issues and signs of aging such as wrinkles, fine lines, reduces pore size, evens out the skin texture, and provide a radiant and glowing complexion. This results in smoother, healthier and beautiful skin.

It is a non-surgical procedure with no downtime and shows quick and swift results. 

3. CO2 Laser treatment
Carbon Dioxide laser treatment is one of the most common treatment methods for acne removal in Melbourne. This treatment is used to treat severe and medium acne scarring. In this procedure, focused light beams from the CO2 Laser are directed onto the treated area. The heat from the laser destroys the dead tissue on the top layer of the skin and facilities the growth of new collagen. This healing response leads to an increase in the production of structural proteins for the new connective tissues. This results in the disappearance of scars and tightening of tissues over the course of the treatment.

This method of acne removal in Melbourne is most effective in treating persistent scars.

4. Dermaroller
A Dermaroller is a device used to perform derma rolling or micro-needling procedures on the skin for skin rejuvenation and acne scar treatment Melbourne. Derma rolling or micro-needling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure used to clear the acne scars, large pores, wrinkles, fine lines and sunspots. In this procedure, tiny needles made of titanium are used to systematically prick the top layer of the skin via the rolling device. This pricking action generates new skin tissue and collagen, which rejuvenates the skin and makes it look tighter, firmer and smoother.

Dermarolling is one of the unique methods for acne scar treatment Melbourne that can provide holistic relief from the scars and provide smoother and even-textured skin.
