Laser treatment for acne scars
Image beam laser treatment for acne scars
The principle of image beam laser treatment for acne scars is to use the exfoliation effect of the laser. For skin stimulation, our skin's collagen can be rearranged to obtain a good therapeutic effect. The effect of pixel laser treatment on acne scars is very ideal, completely eliminating the complications of traditional laser treatment.
Image beam laser treatment for acne scars produces tiny light spots of different depths under ultra-fine microscope technology. It uses focused pixel optical technology to use the surrounding undamaged tissue to promote healing and easily create an ageless appearance. And for us There is no effect on other parts of the skin.
While beam laser treats acne scars, it can also effectively improve our problem of enlarged pores, and the wrinkle removal effect is also very ideal. Pixel laser treatment for acne scars can effectively improve our spots problem and make our skin more delicate, smooth, smooth and silky.
Pulsed light treatment for acne scars
Pulsed light treatment is mostly used for spot removal. It is a multi-wavelength laser that can promote collagen proliferation and disintegrate skin cells. The main function of light melanin is to whiten the skin, treat acne and acne scars, and remove fine lines.
How to remove acne scars with pulsed light: It can shrink capillaries and have a scar lightening effect, but it requires multiple treatments. Pulsed light can also increase collagen in the dermis, making depressions less obvious and improving enlarged pores, so it is also suitable for skin with coexisting erythema and slight depressions.
Advantages of laser acne scar removal
1. Stronger safety
The fundamental change in the principle of laser acne scar removal allows the laser to focus on micro When pixel pulses act on the skin, they will only produce thermal shocks to small areas, leaving part of the skin unaffected. The unaffected skin can be used as a heat diffusion area to avoid heat diffusion and promote skin healing.
2. Wider applicability
The focused micro-pixel pulses of laser acne scar removal make the irradiation more uniform, the energy more stable, and the subdivision of the energy makes the treatment range wider. It can remove wrinkles, stretch marks, stains, and chloasma around the eyes, stimulate collagen proliferation, treat scars, avoid pigmentation, and improve skin elasticity and gloss.
3. A more comfortable feeling
The focused micro-pixel pulses of laser acne scar removal penetrate softer, and the energy is more uniform and stable. Therefore, there is no discomfort in the process of treating scars, and it will not cause skin damage. Skin problems are solved in a more detailed manner, and the effect is more prominent. Combined with radio wave facelift, Nliter laser and other technologies, the effect is even more perfect.
Treatment methods
Treatment methods that can be used for black acne scars:
A) Use L-C skin care products or L-C ultrasound to introduce: brighter skin color , promote the production of skin collagen
B) Use skin care products containing fruit acids: simultaneously treat acne and improve acne scars, promote the exfoliation of old dead skin cells, help skin renewal, and improve pigmentation after acne. , lighten dark spots
C) High-efficiency whitening products or whitening treatments: slow down the production of deep melanin and accelerate melanin metabolism
Treatments that can be used for red acne scars:
< p>A) Pulsed light: It can shrink capillaries and have a scar-reducing effect, but it requires multiple treatments. Pulsed light can also increase collagen in the dermis, making depressions less obvious and improving enlarged pores, so it is also suitable for skin with coexisting erythema and slight depressions.B) Use skin care products containing fruit acids: simultaneously treat acne and improve acne scars, promote the exfoliation of dead skin cells, help skin renewal, and improve pigmentation after acne
C) Purifying treatment: acne, pore clearing, prevention and enhanced acne treatment
Treatment methods available for pitted scars:
A) Acid peel: use high The high concentration of fruit acid peels off skin cuticles, promotes the shedding of aging stratum corneum, accelerates the renewal rate of keratinocytes and a small number of upper epidermal cells, promotes the proliferation of elastic fibers in the dermis, and has a good effect on superficial acne scars. It can also Improves enlarged pores, but requires multiple courses of treatment to eliminate acne scars, but the advantage is that it is safe and has few side effects;
B) Filling method: implants (such as collagen) are injected to make the sunken parts Uplift, thereby being flat with the surrounding skin tissue;
C) Pulsed light: Stimulates the proliferation of fibroblasts, thickens the dermis, and smooths out holes. At the same time, because pulsed light can stimulate the proliferation of collagen, This method has a certain effect on red acne marks and newly formed shallow pits.
D) Deep skin regeneration treatment: targeted at deep acne and pore clearance, which can lighten acne scars and brighten the skin;
E) Laser resurfacing: suitable for deeper cavities. Microdermabrasion surgery can be performed according to the depth of the skin pits. It only takes 2 to 3 times to achieve good results, and the effect is long-lasting. However, because the laser microdermabrasion wound is large, it needs to be coordinated with postoperative care. If the postoperative care is not done, Be prepared that your skin may become red or darkened.
Treatment methods available for hypertrophic convex scars:
A) Local subcutaneous injection: For keloids and hypertrophic scars, drug injections are directly injected into the subcutaneous tissue of acne scars Treatment, and the main ingredients of this drug are steroids, which can fight inflammation and dissolve inflamed tissue. This is currently the simplest and most effective treatment for hypertrophic scars. Although the acne scars can gradually soften and turn from convex to flat after several injection treatments, the pigmentation of the scar tissue still cannot be reduced, so there will still be certain traces after treatment, and the appearance of normal skin cannot be completely restored.
B) Laser and other light therapies such as dye laser, etc.: have a smoothing effect on hypertrophic scars.
5 Tips to Remove Acne Scars
Acne is still occurring and the skin is always oily
This is the best stage to prevent acne scars! First, be gentle - don't pop pimples with your fingers. At the same time, you can use some anti-acne and oil-control skin care products, such as tea tree oil essence, which is also a good helper at this stage. In order to prevent the formation of acne scars, sun protection and whitening work should also be done well. If acne still keeps popping up, you need to see a doctor. Treatment as soon as possible is the best way to prevent acne scars!
Acne has been well controlled
Frequently apply warm towels to your face. On the one hand, applying it on your face can increase the temperature of your skin and help even out your skin tone. Products with repair ingredients can be The underlying skin absorbs smoothly; on the one hand, it accelerates metabolism, improves facial circulation, and helps skin repair. If the acne has been largely resolved or you want to treat it by rubbing, you can consider introducing high-concentration L-vitamin C.
A dent has appeared
Use fruit acid! Use high-concentration fruit acid to exfoliate cuticles. The effects of fruit acid vary depending on the concentration.
Concentration below 3%:
Promote aging cuticles to fall off, allowing regular cuticles to have a better moisturizing effect. Many skin care products contain fruit acids.
The concentration is 3% to 8% (available in pharmacies):
It can accelerate the renewal rate of cutin and a small number of upper epidermal cells to achieve the anti-acne function of accelerating the exfoliation of acne. , making acne scars less obvious.
Concentration of 10% or more (medical grade):
The aging stratum corneum falls off, accelerates the renewal rate of keratinocytes, promotes the growth of epidermal cells, and promotes the proliferation of elastic fibers in the dermis. It can treat acne, remove acne scars, lighten dark spots, and smooth wrinkles.
Ask for help in medical surgery
This requires qualified doctors to diagnose and evaluate the treatment, which is usually for acne scars with a certain "history". The main treatments include:
Laser skin rejuvenation: improves enlarged pores and shallow pits.
Pulsed light: Stimulates fibroblast proliferation, thickens the dermis and smoothes holes.
Because pulsed light can stimulate the proliferation of collagen, it is helpful for red acne scars and newly formed holes.
Filling method: Legal implants (collagen) are injected to make the depressed part bulge and level with the surrounding tissue.
Laser light therapy: Laser light therapy, such as dye laser, has a smoothing effect on vascular proliferative scars.
Diamond micro-carving: treatment of problem skin, such as acne, acne and acne scars, improvement of fine wrinkles and large pores.
Eat for good skin
Acne scars are largely caused by the poor healing ability of the skin.
There are some foods that can speed up the skin’s healing ability. Such as:
1. Lily, mung bean, snow fungus and lotus seed all have the effect of evening skin tone.
2. Eat more fruits and vegetables containing vitamin C and vitamin A;
Vegetables: broccoli, cabbage, green vegetables, etc.
Fruits: kiwi, cherries, tomatoes, lemons, strawberries, etc.
Drupe fruits: almonds, walnuts, sesame, etc.
Surgical treatment methods
Fat injection: Deep scars caused by fat loss can be cured by fat injection. Sometimes called lipoinjections. In this treatment, fat is surgically removed from another part of the body, rinsed, and injected into the scar to cause the fat to grow in the scar. The healing effects usually last 6 to 12 months. Chemical peels: Mild or superficial peels - which gently remove only the top layer of skin cells - are treated with trichloroacetic acid or alpha-hydroxy acid. For very severe acne, doctors use a phenol peel, which usually involves a cosmetic surgeon administering general anesthesia. For general scars, you can ask your doctor to perform trichloroacetic acid peeling. These peels are very effective in healing pit-like scars. Chisel excision: This treatment method is very effective for narrow and deep “ice pick” scars. The doctor uses a round, corrugated cutter-like chisel to cut out the scar and then sews the edges together. Laser dermabrasion: This treatment uses a carbon dioxide laser to abrade the skin. Unlike dermabrasion, laser dermabrasion is a relatively non-bleeding method of skin polishing. But like skin peeling, laser treatment also has its drawbacks - if used improperly, it can produce new scars or uneven stains.
Auxiliary means for removing acne scars
Removing acne scars requires whitening support
Maybe you are wondering that removing acne scars has nothing to do with whitening. This is not the case. Generally, whitening products have appropriate scar-removing effects. You can choose some less irritating whitening kits according to your skin condition to achieve a certain effect of reducing scars. In addition, whitening facial mask care can be performed three times a week to assist in removing scars. For some whitening essences, the effect is quite good when applied on acne scars!
Hydroxy acid peeling is also effective in removing acne scars
Hydroic acid peeling technology is no longer a new topic, but choosing a professional medical beauty institution to do a fruit acid skin treatment is also Quite good! Fruitic acid is used to stimulate cell proliferation and thereby lighten acne scars. However, this option is more effective for relatively shallow new acne scars. For deep acne scars, you need to do what you can. You can also choose some products containing fruitic acid ingredients. To achieve the effect of skin resurfacing at home.
To remove acne scars, metabolism must be normal
Metabolism cannot be separated from water, and you should drink a glass of water first thing in the morning every day. It can be cold plain water, but it is best to choose warm water with some added Honey, this has a great effect on promoting metabolism throughout the day. In addition, the intake of vitamin C cannot be less, as it has the best overall effect of whitening and lightening acne scars, and its intake is best through fresh food, such as lemons, tomatoes, oranges...
Notes
Some things to note when treating acne scars:
1. No matter what kind of acne scar you are treating, you need to cure the acne first so that it doesn’t grow again. Otherwise, you won’t be able to get the best results if you treat acne scars and develop new acne at the same time.
2． After treatment, you can use topical whitening skin care products combined with fruit acid products to enhance the effect. On the one hand, it inhibits the production of melanin, and on the other hand, it promotes skin metabolism and accelerates the elimination of melanin. Such as L-vitamin C, androgen, A acid, kojic acid, etc. However, whitening skin care products and fruit acid skin care products are more effective in preventing melatonin precipitation, but are less effective in treating faded acne marks.
3. Wearing a facial mask is also helpful for the recovery of acne marks. On the one hand, when applied to the face, the mask can increase the surface temperature of the skin, produce a self-help circulation effect on the face, and help to even out the skin tone. At the same time, the repairing nutrients contained in the mask can be better absorbed It is absorbed by the underlying skin; on the other hand, applying the mask frequently can help accelerate skin metabolism and help the skin repair itself.
4． During pulsed light treatment, fruit acid treatment and L-C introduction can be combined. The combination depends on the skin condition at that time. Pulsed light has an improved effect on treating spots, especially red spots, because pulsed light has the function of eliminating capillaries. However, due to the different depths of capillary proliferation in the skin, in terms of treatment, it will fade after one treatment, requiring multiple treatments.
5. After completing a medical cosmetology treatment, the most important thing is post-treatment maintenance. Only with correct maintenance can the treatment effect be maintained for a long time.
6. After treatment, you must first pay attention to sun protection. Exposure to large amounts of ultraviolet rays can cause pigmentation on your skin during the recovery period, making acne scars darker and longer lasting. Therefore, it is not advisable to engage in outdoor activities that last too long.
7. As for the treatment time of fruit acid peeling or laser resurfacing, it is better to choose autumn and winter, but if you can protect yourself from the sun, it can actually be performed in any season.
8． In terms of food, you can add some foods that have the ability to help even out skin color and accelerate skin healing, such as: lily, mung beans, tremella, lotus seeds, coix, etc., all of which can clear away heat and even out skin.
Nuts include almonds, walnuts, sesame seeds, etc.
Vegetables and fruits containing vitamin C and vitamin A, such as broccoli, cabbage, green vegetables, tomatoes, lemons, strawberries, kiwis, etc.
9. To eliminate acne scars, you must also pay attention to sun protection: Sun protection is not a patent for removing freckles and whitening. At the same time, if you want to restore fair skin and smooth acne scars on your face, you must also pay attention to sun protection, because ultraviolet rays can precipitate melanin. The effect of melanin deposition will make the skin texture clearer and scars more prominent.
10. Eliminate acne scars and prevent pigments from entering through the mouth: You should also pay attention to a light diet. Do not eat foods that are too dense in pigments, such as soy sauce, fried foods, etc., and choose some light meals. A light diet not only reduces pigmentation and avoids obvious scars, but also has great benefits for physical health.
Symptoms that are easily confused with acne scars
Hypertrophic scars, commonly known as “crabs”, are usually determined by congenital constitution and are the most difficult to treat. Easy to relapse. This type of scar is just the opposite of pit scar. It is an overly thick scar that leaves obvious red protrusions in the area where acne has occurred. It looks red and swollen. What’s more, it will appear due to scratching. They grow up slowly due to scratching or external stimulation. It mostly occurs in patients with special constitutions. In such patients, the fibroblasts in the dermal layer of their skin are too active and overreact during the wound healing process. As a result, the dermis after being injured due to inflammation is not only not sunken, but also... Raised and turned into hypertrophic skin tissue hyperplasia.
Acne scars can be mainly divided into two types: spots (i.e. acne marks) and scars (sunken or raised). The stains are divided into red and black stains.
Red spots are caused by inflammation of cells in the original acne area, causing blood vessels to dilate. However, after the acne disappears, the blood vessels will not shrink immediately, and temporary red spots will be formed. It will become redder when the skin temperature rises or when you exercise. This erythema is not considered a scar and will gradually recede within 4 to 6 months.
Black spots are caused by the pigmentation after acne inflammation, leaving a dark and dirty color in the areas where red acne has occurred, making the skin dull. These black colors will actually appear over time. Time slowly disappears on its own, and impatient people have no choice but to apply some ointments that can remove melanin or undergo fruit acid peeling or vitamin C introduction.
