Understanding Acne Scarring
When acne breakouts penetrate the skin deeply, they damage the skin and the tissue beneath it. Once the acne clears, the body works to repair this damage. However, during the healing process, the body sometimes produces too much collagen—a type of protein. This can result in a raised acne scar. Other times, the result is a depressed acne scar, resulting from too little collagen during healing. Regardless of the type, acne scarring can impact a person’s self-esteem and quality of life.
At the practice of Dr. Jack Peterson, we understand that acne scars can be a source of discomfort and insecurity. That’s why we offer a range of skin treatments designed to reduce the appearance of acne scarring.
Effective Skin Treatments for Acne Scarring
We’re pleased to bring you some of the most innovative and effective skin treatments to address acne scarring. These treatments work by promoting healthy skin growth, which gradually minimizes the appearance of scars.
EndyMed Intensif Applicator
The EndyMed Intensif Applicator is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes radiofrequency technology to stimulate the production of collagen, which helps to reduce the appearance of acne scars.
Microneedling with Morpheus8
Microneedling with Morpheus8 is another excellent choice. This treatment uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. As the skin heals, it becomes firmer and smoother, helping to reduce the visibility of acne scars.
Chemical Peel and Microdermabrasion
A chemical peel or microdermabrasion treatment can also be highly effective. Both these treatments work by removing the top layer of the skin, encouraging the growth of new, healthier skin cells.
Resurfacing with EndyMed Fractional Skin Resurfacing
Lastly, EndyMed Fractional Skin Resurfacing is an advanced treatment that can help address acne scarring. The treatment utilizes radiofrequency technology to stimulate the body’s collagen and elastin production, promoting smoother, healthier skin.
