A number of procedures are used to resurface the skin:
Microdermabrasion involves an abrasive tool that gently abrades the skin to remove the outer layer, thereby increasing collagen production, leaving the new skin smoother. Microdermabrasion is also useful in treating discoloration caused by acne.
dermabrasion is similar to microdermabrasion & Skin Whitening in Islamabad Pakistan , but is more intense and invasive as it removes deeper layers of skin.
Also known as "dermaplaning," dermabrasion uses a special wire brush to scrape away the scar. New skin appears within 1 to 2 weeks, starts out pink and fades to a normal skin tone after 6 to 12 weeks.Dermabrasion is not recommended for darker skin tones as it can cause discoloration. The
laser treatment is a safe and effective surface treatment for convex acne scars, including acne keloids. Pulsed dye laser (PDL) helps smooth raised scars, reducing their color, itching, and pain in people of all skin tones.
For people with lighter skin, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) can also effectively treat raised scars.
Chemical peels are typically used on fair-skinned people with acne scars because they can cause discoloration in darker skin tones.Chemical peels involve chemicals that peel away the outer layer of skin. The new skin grows back smoother and with fewer scars. Different chemicals are used to remove the skin at different depths. People who undergo chemical peels should use sunscreen after the treatment or avoid the sun for several months.
Light Peels use a mild acid such as B. A mild alpha hydroxy acid to penetrate only the outer layer of skin for optimal exfoliation.This improves the appearance of minor scars and discoloration associated with mild acne. Light chemical peels can be repeated every 1-4 weeks.
Medium peels use stronger acids, such as glycolic or trichloroacetic acid, to penetrate the middle layers of the skin, removing damaged skin cells and reducing acne scars and surface blemishes. Medium chemical peels can be repeated every 6-12 months. Using trichloroacetic acid or phenol,
deep peels penetrate deep into the skin, removing damaged cells and improving the appearance - or in some cases completely eliminating - superficial scars, freckles and small red or brown acne spots.Deep chemical peels can only be used once, but they offer a dramatic improvement in skin's appearance.
