Britannia Dermedics has great options for treatment of acne scars. Acne scars aren’t just from picking and squeezing; the stress of the acne on the skin often irritates the cells and leaves a small groove, darkening over time with sun exposure.
To prevent acne scarring, be sure to avoid picking at your face, receive minimal sun exposure, and always wear an SPF containing face lotion, year round. While these will help prevent acne scarring, there are simple, non-invasive ways to treat acne scars from years past.
Pearl Laser Skin Resurfacing, Laser Genesis, and Chemical Peels are all options with Britannia Dermedics. These treatments are different but have in common that they are fast, simple, and have little recovery time. Acne is nothing to be ashamed of, but getting back to your old self is easy to do.
Pearl Laser Skin Resurfacing
Pearl Laser Skin Resurfacing is a Thermal Peel. Using pulsing light, Pearl Laser Skin Resurfacing treats the top layer and deeper layers of the skin. The cells regenerate and produce younger, more even, and tighter skin in just a few days of “social” recovery as the skin peels itself.
Pearl Laser Skin Resurfacing is also for clients with sun damage, as the production of younger cells removes years of redness and tough, leathery skin damage.
This is recommended for:
- Lighter to medium skin tones
- Mild to moderate sun damage
Laser Facials and Laser Genesis
Like Pearl Laser Skin Resurfacing, Laser Genesis uses a non-invasive pulsing light. The treatment heats below your skin’s surface to produce collagen, minimizing pores, reducing redness, and removing acne scars. Collagen is your skin’s natural filler, plumping your skin back to its youthful look and filling in grooves caused by acne scarring.
Laser Genesis is used on the face and neck to tighten skin and remove years of damage. The procedure requires no numbing or anesthesia, and boasts no recovery time.
This is recommended for:
• All skin types
Peels
Depending on your target area and skin tone, there are many different peels to choose from. The two peels recommended for acne scarring specifically are the Vitalize and Rejuvenize peels.
Vitalize Peel:
• The Vitalize Peel stimulates collagen growth below the surface of the skin. Skin will flake and peel minimally and be replenished with fresh, young, and firm skin. The Vitalize peel uses natural and gentle fruit acids to stimulate collagen production. It is strong but safe, and removes acne scars and redness for dramatic results.
Rejuvenize Peel
• Rejuvenize provides a deeper peel than Vitalize. Also a chemical peel, Rejuvenize provides dramatic results for acne-scarred skin in a few short treatments. Rejuvenize removes years of sun and acne damaged skin, reducing the acne scars by activating the growth of collagen in the skin and replacing damaged cells with new cells.
This is recommended for:
• All skin types
Britannia Dermedics also offers Illuminize Peels and Microdermabrasion for rejuvenating your skin. There are many choices for targeting acne scarring by itself, or in combination with sun damage. Explore your options!
