Probably the biggest concern of acne patients must be the sight of the scars on their face. Depending on the type of scars, several treatment methods can be utilized.
It must be remembered that scar removal is an extremely difficult and long process with non-ablative methods. Ablative methods can give excellent results but they are associated with too much pain, discomfort and post-procedure down time to be of any relevance to most patients in this day and age.
Many patients focus all their energies on planning and preparing for their in-clinic treatments but neglect the importance of home care.
This is not ideal.
Home care – do not ignore its importance!
A good home care range that is potent enough to complement the efforts of a medical procedure in stimulating scar lightening, collagen regeneration and textural improvement of skin surface is the key to successful scar improvement.
With a good home skin care regime, your skin is also well nourished and protected so that more aggressive treatments like laser resurfacing can be done. We have noticed that by using non-invasive treatments like REVLITE laser rejuvenation or minimally-invasive treatments like Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing , significant improvement in scarring can be achieved.
Needless to say, combining such lasers treatment programs with a collagen-stimulating and nourishing home care will further augment the degree of improvement seen. Results will vary from patient to patient and the types and depths of scars also affect the eventual result. Most patients however, will see some definite improvement in their scars in terms of overall look and texture.
