Scarring is actually a natural step in the process of skin healing after the damage has been done. The problem is that the skin does not always heal in a desirable fashion, sometimes causing deformations and sometimes leading to marks which may be long lasting to permanent.
Humans have a tendency to scar after every single damage to the skin tissues unless of course the lesions are minor which and the skin heals fast. Also, some scars get dissolved or replaced by the new skin over time- a process more common in animals who can completely regenerate a new tissue as against humans.
Now, getting hurt and hence having a scar is normal but is flaunting that and letting it spoil the looks okay too? Unless of course they are war scars and hence a matter of ultimate pride, the scars should be treated specially if they are coming in the way of you feeling confident of yourself.
The most common scars that people usually get treated are the acne scars but that almost all the scars can be treated by similar procedure is a fact not many people are aware of.
Peels: Peels are usually the easiest way out in case of scar treatment because they are almost painless. Most peels are chemical based and work by creating minor abrasions on the skin which on account of getting healed fast, heal the nearby skin too. The underlying principle is that the abrasions stimulate production of collagen which thus fills up the scar pits. The skin in this case however tends to peel off over time. The number of peels required also depends on the intensity of scars and the sensitivity of your skin.
Microneedling: Microneedling is a frequently used technique. It works by damaging the skin tissues which starts a cycle of recovery thus producing new collagen which plumps-up the skin and removes wrinkles and fine lines to a great extent.
Radiofrequency Treatment: This method utilizes Radio frequency waves against the usage of Lasers for breaking the scar tissue. This method involves pulse delivery to deeper skin layers in order to remodel the collagen. Almost no damage is caused to the upper skin layers and hence the downtime is very little if any at all. This process can be used as a standalone or in conjunction with other acne scar treatments.
The inherent principle behind usage of Laser scar removal is the same as the aforementioned. The difference comes in the type of lasers used which then depends on factors such as the depth of the scar, skin type of the patient etc.
Refine Skin And Body Clinic offers dedicated and advanced treatments for acne scars with numerous laser options ranging from Erbium Glass, Co2 Fractional, Erbium Pixel, MicroNeedling, Fractional Radiofrequency, RevLite, ClearScar, ClearSkin, ClearLift and LED.
A broader categorisation of Lasers can be done basis the level of abrasion that is done, like Ablative lasers such as CO2 and Erbium are more invasive and work by vaporising the outer layer of the skin. This process results in the skin getting in a default healing mechanism leading to increased collagen production. Also, as compared to CO2 lasers. Erbium YAG has more affinity for water which makes the results thus obtained better.
For Non-ablative lasers such as Fraxel the invasion is far less and the laser works by heating up the targeted tissue without actually destroying it. This stimulates the body’s collagen production to fill in the unwanted fine lines or wrinkles.
