Treatment Options
Chemical Peel
Chemical peels are helpful for treating a variety of skin issues such as acne, acne scars, pigmentation, age spots, melasma, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles and fine lines. During the treatment of acne scars through chemical peels containing glycolic or salicylic acid is mainly used and are applied over the target skin area. This solution exfoliates the skin and removes the topmost layer for the skin. The chemical peel also removes the pigmented cells, therefore it is equally beneficial for skin tone and texture.
Dermabrasion
It is a skin resurfacing method that is useful to treat facial scarring. This improves the appearance of acne scars, chicken pox scars, and also removes the scars that are formed due to an injury or disease. This works by using a power-driven hand tool that consists of an abrasive end part. This device rotates around the surface of the scar and removes the topmost layer of the skin, boosts collagen production, and promotes new skin cell formation.
Microdermabrasion
It is a skin resurfacing technique which is less risky and gives a quick recovery than other techniques. It is the same as dermabrasion, however, it works by using small crystals to remove the topmost skin layers. This technique triggers the improvement of more superficial scars and fine lines. This is a painless technique and no anaesthesia is required during this procedure. This treatment works best for treating boxcar scar. This technique needs multiple sessions to achieve the best results.
Dermal fillers

This solution when injected into the affected skin area it improves the appearance of scars and provides quick and natural outcomes. The fillers boost collagen production and help to fill the deep acne scar area to provide a smooth skin texture. This is effective for treating scars as a quick and short-term method.
Laser Resurfacing

Ablative lasers mainly target the surface layer of the skin (exfoliation and new skin cell production) as well as the deeper layers of the skin (remove pigmentation and boost collagen production). Non-ablative lasers target only the deeper layers of the skin (remove pigmentation and boost collagen production. Laser therapy work best to improve the appearance of acne scars, wrinkles and facial pigmentation. It provides improved skin tone, texture as well as a fresh and healthier looking skin.
