After an acne outbreak, it is not uncommon for small pigmentations and scars to appear on the skin. The scars can occur regardless of whether you have picked or left them alone and are due to the inflammation that the acne caused. Scars on the face can feel both difficult and annoying to have to live with, but luckily there is a solution to the problem. With the help of our modern treatments here at Estetikcentrum, we can make a big difference to your skin and treat both new and old scars.
At Estetikcentrum we have two treatments that we recommend for those who want to treat scars and pigment spots. Both treatments are very effective and give fantastic results on all skin types.
Microneedling – small needle with big effect
Microneedling is a popular and appreciated treatment that gives the skin a kick-start. Using small, thin needles, we create microscopic holes in the skin, which causes the body to start the natural healing process. When this happens, the body also produces collagen, which in turn helps to reduce scars and smooth out the skin structure. The treatment is suitable for those who have superficial acne scars and want to work on structure and radiance, but also for those who do not have time for a long recovery.
Most people need 3-6 treatments to achieve optimal results, but we will determine what you need after your skin analysis and consultation. We will tailor the treatment and number of sessions to your needs, to ensure that you get skin that feels smoother and with less prominent scars.
CO2 laser – for those who want to treat in depth
Om microneedling is that calm friend, so is ours CO2 laser a real personal trainer who makes sure you get things done. It is a very powerful treatment where a fractional laser works deep into the skin and stimulates the rebuilding where the scars actually are. Incredibly effective, especially if you have deep, old scars that refuse to go away. Our skin therapists have extensive experience working with lasers and recommend CO2 for those who have deeper or more stubborn acne scars, want more noticeable results, a little faster and who don't mind a few days of recovery. The skin may peel a little after the treatment.
So what should you choose?
Which one you choose depends entirely on your skin and what you want to achieve, but it's good to remember that microneedling is a gentler treatment that requires multiple sessions, but is also perfect if you want to work gently and gradually get better results. Plus, there's no recovery time and you'll feel back to normal after a few hours. CO2 laser is much more powerful, goes deeper into the skin and thus has a greater effect. At the same time, you may need to stay home for a few days after your treatment and let your skin rest in peace.
