Types of Acne Scars
Acne scars fall into four main categories, each requiring specialized treatment:
- Atrophic scars: Sunken scars, including boxcar, rolling, and ice-pick scars. These are the most common type.
- Hypertrophic scars: Raised scars that remain within the boundaries of the original acne lesion.
- Keloid scars: Raised scars that extend beyond the original acne site.
- Pigmented scars: Areas of discoloration (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) left after acne.
Atrophic scars are the most prevalent, appearing more frequently than the other types.
Innovative Treatment Options
IQ SKIN CLINICS excels in providing tailored acne scarring treatments using advanced technology. Their methods ensure effective results with reduced recovery times.
- Fractional RF Microneedling
This treatment is highly effective for rolling and boxcar scars. It uses fine needles to create microchannels in the skin while delivering radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production. Safe for all skin tones, it typically requires 3 to 5 sessions for optimal results.
- CO₂ and Er:YAG LASERs
Ablative LASERs vaporize the outer layers of the skin, promoting deep regeneration. Fractional LASERs create micro-injuries for faster healing, while non-ablative options like Pulsed Dye LASER and Pico LASER offer quicker recovery with minimal side effects, though more sessions may be needed.
- Minimally Invasive Methods
- Subcision: Releases fibrous bands under scars, lifting the skin for smoother results. Often combined with PRP or LASER treatments.
- Punch Excision: Removes deep ice-pick scars, followed by LASER resurfacing to smooth the area.
- Fillers and Chemical Peels: Hyaluronic acid fillers lift shallow scars, while TCA peels stimulate collagen production for smoother skin.
