If you are suffering from embarrassment or are self-conscious about the appearance of acne scars, you should consider looking into acne scar removal procedures to minimize their appearance. There are numerous treatment options available for the minimization of acne scars, depending upon their severity and your treatment goals.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are a great treatment option when you are dealing with acne scars. The procedure involves the application of a special solution to the surface of the skin. This solution damages the outer skin layer and triggers a self repair process in which your body removes the outer skin layer and replaces it with fresher skin tissue. The deeper types of chemical peels reach further into your skin and are oftentimes more appropriate when you are dealing with deeper acne scars.

Laser Treatment

Undergoing a laser treatment is another very common acne scar removal treatment choice for many people dealing with acne scars. We can use a cosmetic laser to transmit thermal energy beneath the surface of your skin affected by acne scars. This damaged skin tissue is then removed by your body and replaced by fresher skin that displays fewer imperfections like acne scars. The laser energy is carefully controlled in order to ensure safety, comfort, and precision.

Microneedling

Many patients have found that a microneedling procedure is extremely effective at minimizing the appearance of their acne scars. This acne scar removal treatment involves the use of a device covered in tiny needles that penetrates the surface of your skin. Although very little actual damage is done to the skin, it triggers the skin rejuvenation process that helps minimize the appearance of acne scars.
