Acne Scars and Their Types:

Acne scars form when severe acne lesions affect the healing process of the skin and leave scars. Injury may occur to deeper layers of the skin resulting in either a depression or tissue overgrowth. The most prevalent acne scars are ice-pick scars characterized by narrow and deep scars in the skin, boxcar scars characterized by broad depressions with sharp cut edges, and hypertrophic scars which are swollen and firm. Also, it may leave post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation on many people that leave dark or reddish marks even after one is healed of acne.

Expected Results and Recovery:

The vast majority of patients report a significant change in the texture, tone and scar visibility of their skin after only a few sessions with most patients receiving the best results with multiple treatments. The recovery time is different concerning the procedure, which means that there is minimum downtime during microneedling and chemical peels, and days with laser treatment.

Advanced Acne Scar Treatments:

We believe that there is no type of acne scars treatment that fits everybody. A personalized treatment plan is created by our dermatologists in Islamabad that would help bring overall results using a combination of several methods.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Micro needling:

Microneedling involves the use of fine needles to apply controlled micro-injuries to the skin by pricking various parts of the face to promote the body to achieve its natural healing ability along with collagen production. Together with PRP extracted under patients own blood and containing a large amount of growth factors, the process of healing accelerates and rejuvenates the skin. The combination of the two evens out skin texture and decreases deep scarring, as well as promotes healthier skin. Multiple sessions always lead to the gradual improvement of the skin.

Fractional CO 2 Laser Resurfacing:

The Fractional CO 2 Laser can be termed as gold-standard of treatment of deep seated acne scars. It works by transferring laser beams of light into microscopic sections of the skin that peel away the injured layers resulting in new formation of collagen in lower facial layers. The resurfacing procedure minimizes the depth of the scar and balances the skin tone as well as enhancing skin elasticity. Removal can cause a little redness and flaking over a couple of days but effects are long-term, and can be seen in some cases after a single or two sessions only.

Chemical Peels:

In case of shallow scars and pigmentation, a chemical peel in Islamabad is used. Such peels contain acids which include: Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid or Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA), and are used to remove the damaged outer skin layer. This encourages exfoliation, bleaches out lines, and then shows a smoother, healthier skin beneath. The scars may vary in severity; hence, depending on how severe they are, our dermatologists will recommend either a light, a medium, or deep peel in order to achieve such results.

Dermal Fillers: 

Acne leaves a scar formed by the depression of the skin caused by loss of underlying tissue. In these instances, dermal fillers are used to fill the dents and make the skin surface smoother as hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers are injected into the dents in order to increase their elevation. The effects of the procedures are instant and may extend to months and even more than one year depending on the type of filler used. This procedure is fast, requiring minimal time to heal giving it the perfect option if one wants to see changes instantaneously.

Subcision Treatment:

Subcision is a minimally invasive Acne Scar Treatment in Islamabad that relieves the sideways tug of fibrous bands under the skin pulling the scars downward giving an indented scar. With the clasping apart of these bands, the skin is freed and allowed to even itself out. The technique works especially well with rolling scars and may be used in combination with other procedures such as microneedling or fillers as the application complements each other.

Radiofrequency Microneedling:

Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling uses conventional microneedling together with a radiofrequency (RF) to provide heat to the dermis, a deep region of the dermis. Not only does this stimulate collagen it also engages skin tissues, making this very effective in treating acne scarring not only in terms of texture irregularity, but also in terms of skin laxity. Downtime in the procedure is minimal and outcomes are better in the weeks after the treatment.

Microdermabrasion for Mild Scars:

In patients who have only mild scars on their surface, microdermabrasion will serve as a mild but effective procedure. It is performed with the use of fine crystals or diamond tipped machines to exfoliate dead skin cells and give a brighter and smoother complexion. As much as results are progressive and take several sittings, the treatment is safe with most skin types and enhances skin health.

Cryotherapy for Raised Scars:

In hypertrophic or keloidal scars, cryotherapy is used whereby the scar tissue is frozen with the help of a liquid nitrogen. This therapy will make thick scars smooth and flatten with time. The combination with steroid injections has more outcomes and a lower tendency towards its recurrence.
