Laser Treatment of Acne Scars

Laser treatment of Acne Scars & Trauma Scars

The most ghastly outcome of acne is its scars which can not only scar a face but also your self-esteem. Some people are more prone to scarring such as ones with inflamed acne lesions having large painful bump called as nodulocystic acne. Moreover, dark marks and pits after acne are common in acne with inflammation. Scratching, rubbing and popping the lesions out of frustration further worsen the scars and pigmentation in acne.

Various home-remedies and over the counter creams are touted to provide guaranteed removal of scars, but most of them are not only worthless but also can contain very strong ingredients (like steroids) which can further cause irreversible damage to the skin. So, we always advise that one should consult a dermatologist before using any such over the counter products on your skin. At SkinMedics Clinic, a thorough consultation by our doctors is a quintessential part of treatment for full assessment of your scars in order to prepare a personalized regimen according to your skin, which includes a unique combination of creams and medically supervised therapies offered at the clinic. Undoubtedly, advanced laser technology when used appropriately is one of the best ways to treat acne scars with visible results. SkinMedics Clinic offers some of the most advanced laser procedures to reduce acne and trauma scars to bring out your pre-acne perfect glowing skin.
